[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 711469, member: 19887"] I'm sorry but I have to disagree that there is mental health care everywhere. I teach in a rural area and it's hours to any kind of counselling or hospitals, and the wait list for counselling if you don't have private insurance can be six months or more. Hospitals discharge suicidal people after they "stabilize" them, which could mean only over night. AA and NA are everywhere but they don't work for everyone, especially if you don't agree with the higher power part. We are seriously lacking in mental health care, I do work in the field as a school counsellor and I often don't know where to direct parents when they tell me they are on a six month wait list, or can't get into any treatment. We have ONE addiction centre for youth to 21 and it has limited beds. That is for our entire province ( like your state ). That is all we have. Nothing else. It is beyond frustrating for me as a counsellor and as a parent it's devastating .... [/QUOTE]
