Mental health support for Christo after the miscarriage
A course of family counseling for Christo could change everything; the cost is $650.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa1,574 views
After the miscarriage, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Pretoria cost $35 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm 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 $650 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $550
• Psychiatric assessment: $65
• Workbook and resources: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Pretoria.
Wishing you the best, Christo. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope November is when things finally get easier
You're not alone, Christo. Looking forward to the next update!
Hope things get better soon, Christo. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Sending love, Christo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Pretoria.
