...ever follow through. We are broke right now and she has no insurance. Is there anywhere to turn for free counseling?

Answer:

Depends on your state?

Go to your local phone directory or online community health directory and look up non profit mental health.

I worked for non profit mental health for a long time and it is a fantastic way to get the medication and the therapy you need at a sliding scale fee or even for free depending on your income.

The prescription companies will also help you get your medications for free through their programs which are brand specific as far as guidelines and expectations go. Paxil is the easiest to get but has the most detailed application and they ask the most questions. At least it was when I was in that field? Things may have changed? They always do...

If they do not have sliding scale mental health facilities in your state. If you can manage the doctors bill for a visit... Usually if you bring the application with you and send in the prescription to the company with a downloaded application (follow the guidelines and answer all questions honestly and exactly as stated) and they will send you the medications to your home or doctors office.
