Declan's path to healing - a structured recovery program in Dublin

After the loss of my brother, Declan has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $2,200.

After the loss of my brother, Declan has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Dublin cost $60 each. Declan has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Declan could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Declan, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $2,200 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,850 • Psychiatric assessment: $320 • Workbook and resources: $30 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Tara

  1. Thank you all. We're at 33% now ($734). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward 16 therapy sessions.

      Wishing you the best, Tara. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
