Mental health support for Gugu after the death of both parents

After the death of both parents, Gugu has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Pretoria cost $30 each. Gugu 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 Gugu 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 Gugu, 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 $715 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $650 • Psychiatric assessment: $60 • Workbook and resources: $5 Thanks for being kind about this. - Lesego
