After bullying at school, Lena has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Kassel Wellbeing Centre cost $55 each. Lena has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Lena 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 Lena, 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 $1,400 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,200 • Psychiatric assessment: $185 • Workbook and resources: $15 Glad we found this place. - Sebastian

  • stay strong, Sebastian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

    • thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best

      • Good luck, Sebastian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
