Mental health isn’t a luxury—it’s a vital part of living a full, healthy life. But too often, support feels out of reach, especially if you don’t have insurance or can’t afford therapy.
The truth is: you deserve care, and help is available—often for free or at a low cost. In this post, we’ll share practical tools and trusted resources you can start using right now.
