If you are unable to find counseling or groups in your area:
1. Contact your health insurance provider and ask for mental health resources. Even if it is not covered under an insurance plan, some counseling centers offer discounted rates.
​
2. If you are an employee of an organization, many companies offer Employee Assistance Programs, and some offer free counseling services. Check with an HR representative for yourself or a family member.
