What If Community Counseling Is Still Too Expensive? - Black Health Journey

What If Community Counseling Is Still Too Expensive? Are mental health resources out of reach because of cost? In this video, we explore practical options for accessing affordable mental health support in Black communities. We’ll discuss how sliding scale fees at community counseling centers can make therapy more affordable for those with limited income. You’ll learn about free and low-cost hotlines, like the 988 crisis line, that provide immediate emotional support without charge. We also highlight the importance of finding culturally competent providers who understand and share your background, making the care more relatable and effective. Additionally, we’ll cover how faith-based organizations, churches, and community groups often offer free or low-cost counseling and support groups that foster shared understanding and healing. Telehealth services are another option, offering lower-cost virtual sessions that save time and money. We’ll share ways to advocate for better mental health coverage, workforce diversity, and cultural training for providers to help reduce disparities over time. Finally, we’ll discuss how maintaining healthy lifestyles through tailored fitness routines and nutritious food choices can boost emotional wellness and reduce the need for intensive therapy.
