Mental Healthcare?

[matrexsvigil.livejournal.com]

I know most people in this community are not fond of doctors and the like, but I believe I'm in need of one. I'm poor and cannot afford to just skip into the hospital and demand treatment.

I'm in the Cleveland, Ohio area, and I'm having trouble finding free or cheap mental health care. My googlefu is weak. If anyone can help me find information about this, please e-mail me at worldofro@yahoo.com. Thanks!

I live in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio (though I'm about 45 minutes farther now because I'm on campus), but unless you happen to be not only in my area but at my college, I don't know offhand where you can go that's cheap/free...

I can try to put my googlefu to work for you after I finish my lab report, though.

*blink!*

You live in my city!

I'll have to ask some friends; one works in mental health, so she might know, and the other uses free clinics on occasion, so he might know. And the third has lived in Cleveland all his life... Will check around and post here probably tomorrow evening.

Please, don't worry. You are fine. As it says in the community usernifo, offtopic posts are allowed. If you're multiple, it isn't even offtopic.

In any event, you may want to contact Sidran:

They are mostly related to trauma-survivorship-dissociation issues, (which may or may not be multiplicity-related) but I'm sure even if that isn't what you're looking for specifically, they can put you onto the right track to find someone in your area.

If you are specifically looking for a doctor who might help you with multiplicity issues, or who is open to the idea of multiplicity, try Many Voices:
http://www.manyvoicespress.com

Tell Lyn that Jay of Astraea sent you.

Good luck!
