BIPOC Support
BIPOC Resources
即使有与文化相关的服务和支持，也可能需要时间来找到适合你或你的孩子的方法。. 然而，通过研究和提供的资源，你可以得到所需的护理.
对孩子和他们的家人来说，开始和陌生人进行治疗可能会感到非常尴尬. Be patient with yourself and your child. 如果你或你的孩子需要感到舒适和支持，你可以向治疗师询问尽可能多的问题. 如果你不确定在寻找一个好的心理健康专家时，什么问题是重要的, do not worry.
If you find a therapist you think is a great match, but you don’t have insurance or they don’t take your insurance, ask about what financial options are available. 一些治疗师提供以收入为基础或滑动量表来帮助降低成本. Here are a few tips for help making therapy accessible and affordable.
Also, if you or your child(ren) are currently uninsured or under-insured, 公共卫生的社区健康访问计划(CHAP)导航员可以帮助您连接到免费或低成本的健康保险选择.
