After bullying at school, Carlos has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at St. Louis Wellbeing Centre cost $105 each. Carlos 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 Carlos could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Carlos, 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 $2,400 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,950 • Psychiatric assessment: $400 • Workbook and resources: $50 I hope life is good to you.
