I don’t have time to go to appointments - does anybody know a good, reasonably priced mental health counselor that I can “talk” with via E-mail?

Is it legal for a public school to give an exclusive contract to a mental health agency and deny others access

I work in a school district that has an exclusive contract with a local private mental health provider. The contract allows this provider the ability to come onto any of the campuses in the school district to provide counseling and case management services to only the students who are already receiving services by the provider in the provider’s clinic. Other students who are not already going to the clinic are not seen by the personnel of the provider at the school.

The problem is that there are two other mental health providers who see some of our students but they are not allowed to step into the schools during the school day, even with permission from a parent. Thus, the benefit of receiving counseling from their providers is denied by the contract.

Something about this doesn’t seem right and I am hoping to find out a court case or legal statute that either supports this or doesn’t. Thanks ahead of time.

gdubbs asked:


I have a friend who is unemployed and too old to be covered by her parents. I would like her to get some medical care for her mental health (we believe she has bipolar disorder), but I’m not sure how she could get help because she cannot afford it. Are there free public institutions that will help her out? She is currently living in Massachusetts.

Any information (especially about whether something like Medicare covers this), links, etc. would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

And even if I did go to Iraq, obviously there is never a safe place, but working as a mental health specialist would be less dangerous wouldnt it?

Can you get into the social work field with a masters in mental health counseling?

Manny asked:


Hello. From what I understand social workers can become licensed counselors. I was wondering if people that have masters in mental health counseling can cross over and find opportunities in social work as well or do employers look for people with masters in social work specifically?

Question Queen ™ asked:


My depression is getting the best of me, & it’s interfering with my daily functioning, & I can’t perform properly in school. Last time I did this, they made me pay my financial aid back IMMEDIATELY. Good thing I had the money because they would’ve had to sue me. They wanted me to pay it back within 10 days. Also, I wasn’t allowed to enter school the next semester without the financial aid being paid back. My mental health is deteriorating, & I don’t know if I should take the F’s for excessive absences or resign & have to pay everything back immediately. Now, I don’t have the money to pay anything back. I might have to go to the mental hospital until I get mentally stabilized. I’m torn between 2 hard decisions. & since I already have my Bachelor’s, all I can get in aid is loans. I’m just taking extra classes to try to help boost my GPA so I can try to get into Grad School, but it’s not working.
