wholewheat -“Who can afford it? The expense is prohibitive. Usually experience is commensurate with price. Is there any solution – like therapy gemachs or something?”
There are Mental Health clinics in the Frum community that provide free or reduced rates. Also some Bikur Cholims will pay for their communities Mental Health, but not all.
But I agree that there needs to be more done in the way of helping poor people receive help. Is there any Gvir out there that wants to start a Frum org. for this?
We have two orgs. to help people have kids (A Time, Bonai olam), how about one that pays Medical & Dental & Psychological help for poor people? Most of the Frum clinics that exist aren’t totally free for those without insurance. Some people can’t even afford reduced rates. It’s the 9 days -I know some of you reading this can afford to start something like this -so about doing some Ahavas Chinum to combat the Sinas Chinum that exists?!?!
