  MeanGene_Brokerlund asked:

  How to access to family counselling or therapy Is it possible to get free counselling or psychiatry if I get a referral through a family doctor? Does anyone know how this process works? Anyone have recommendations on service providers who offer family counselling? Or individual counselling for elementary aged children? Thanks in advance

  Psychiatric help is covered by OHIP. You need a referral. Counseling is not. For mental health resources check CAMH, UHN, toronto central health line, [Bigwhitewall.com](https://Bigwhitewall.com) etc.

  Crystal A. asked:

  Hi I wonder if anyone can help. If you feel your client is having a possible psychotic break & at risk of harm to themselves, what is the 1st port of call in UK? It seems to me, that unless you are a counsellor or recognized professional it is difficult to refer anyone on. I feel that in the UK there is no supervision available to healers /therapists that I'm aware of & I feel there should be, as it can be difficult because you have client confidentiality but no way of off loading burdens or referring those that need it. Any advise would be gratefully accepted, thank you x

  

  Karen B. replied:

  Hi Crystal. First port of call is the GP who can refer to specific services. You can self refer to IAPT (depression, anxiety, stress, phobias). Check out MIND and RETHINK (hopefully you have some local services by these organisations). There is an online community. WWW.bigwhitewall.com. There is a 24/7 Helpline: Mental Health Matters Tel: 0800 616 171. Usual counselling services. Waiting lists are a joke and the investment in Mental Health issues in the UK is poor but we are lucky compared to other places in the world. Good luck. ☘

  ps. There is a mental health support website that is free for Hertfordshire residents. It is called bigwhitewall.com It is constantly moderated for safety. There are self-managed courses in there you can do. There is a wall to post messages, and a discussion forum. The moderators are professionals, and everyone is completely anonymous (no mentions of names, locations, or any other identifiable data). I would recommend the site.

  Dont forget the big white wall is open for veterans use...I would say it's a far better option than posting in a FB PTSD group...No disrespect Stu,I just think it's such a personal subject. http://www.bigwhitewall.com/my-account/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2F

  Lyla, we are all different, I couldn't get on with the 'Big White Wall' as it felt like walking into a conference hall full of people.

  

  Lyla S. replied:
