Free meds and therapy

I get a lot of emails asking for references to inexpensive or free mental healthcare, particularly since I wrote about Rich Wexler . I’d love to offer you a handy PDF you could print out and color with crayons, but I’m not tech-savvy that way. Instead, I’m cutting and pasting the list for you. Please forward it around. NOTE: Crisis intervention centers are at the very end, in case you’re losing your mind right this minute.
