How can I find free mental health services?

I don’t have insurance, but I really need to see a doctor. I am going through a serious mental health crisis and I am afraid I may try to kill myself if I don’t get professional help soon. I’ve tried to find help on samhsa.gov and my state’s health department’s website, but neither is clear about eligibility or services. Is there anyone out there who has already navigated the system and can explain it in plain English? Are there any resources out there for me?

First of all it would help to know how old you are.
But next in you phone book-guessing you live in the states, look up Dept of Mental Health. Call the number given and ask for the Director of Mental Health Services for you area of the state, most states are divided into areas. Next explain you have no insurance and you are in need of mental health services, most all states have agencies that work on a sliding scale. Also some states actually have a hot line that will help you if you need immediate help and I don’t mean hospitalization. If that fails to work you can read my profile and if you feel safe e-mail me and I’ll see what I can do for the state you live in. God Bless Reggie

Outcome Measurement in Mental Health By Trauer, Tom (EDT) $132.82 In order to operate in an evidencebased fashion, mental health services rely on accurate, relevant, and systematic information. One important type of information is the nature of the problems experienced by recipients of mental health care, and how these problems change over the course of time. Outcome measurement involves the systematic, repeated assessment of aspects of health and illness, either by service providers, service recipients, or both. Feedback collected in this way can have a variety of uses to stakeholders in the health enterprise. From outcome measurement clinicians and service recipients achieve a common language whereby they can plan treatment and track progress, team leaders and managers secure a basis to compare their services with others and to promote quality, while policy makers and funders derive evidence of effectiveness. This book looks at the various ways outcome measurement has been implemented around the world, with different client groups, and in different service settings. It also critically reviews a number of contemporary and unresolved issues. This book will be an essential and practical resource for all members of the mental health clinical team as well as those responsible for establishing or managing services, and directing policy Provided by publisher.

This is part of an increasing interest in questions about health, quality of life, personal development, and selffulfilment.
