What should you do if you’re a teenager under a lot of stress, or dealing with a mental health problem, and you don’t have the money to see a doctor?

If you’re worried about paying for mental health care, you’re not alone. Lots of people need help, but worry that they can’t afford it. But it is possible to find cheap, or sometimes free, mental health care and support. Let’s see how teenagers in the US get help.

1School counselors (咨询员) and school therapists (心理治疗师)

School counselors and therapists can listen to you with care for free! They can help you evaluate (评估) the situation you’re dealing with. If they can’t help, you’ll need to do a little more research to figure out how to get help.

2Hospitals

Call your local hospital and ask what kinds of mental health services they can give, and at what price. Teaching hospitals, where doctors are trained, often offer low-or-no-cost services.

3Local mental health centers and clinics (诊所)

These groups are partially (部分) supported by the country, so they only need to raise part of the fund (基金). Search online for “mental health services” and the name of the county or city where you live. One thing to keep in mind: Not every mental health clinic will fit your needs. Some might not work with people of your age. It’s still valuable to give a call, though. Even if a clinic can’t help you, the people who work there might tell you someone who can.
