Very few people talk about therapy options. Or about access to
options. Or how to decide on what kind of treatment you might need
and that you do have choices. Some treatments are real world human
based and some are delivered via technology.
The goal is to find the right help for you. It might take a bit of
effort but you are worth it.
If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or
text “START” to 741-741.
