After bullying at school, Harold has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Leeds Wellbeing Centre cost $55 each. Harold 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 Harold could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Harold, 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 $1,550 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,200 • Psychiatric assessment: $330 • Workbook and resources: $20 Thanks for being kind about this.
