Belfast
After a violent robbery, Luca has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Belfast cost $85 each. Luca 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 Luca 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 Luca, 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 $2,200 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,850 • Psychiatric assessment: $290 • Workbook and resources: $60 Thank you for reading my story. - Beth

  • I hope things turn around soon. After 13 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Belfast.

      Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

      • Stay strong, Beth. Wishing Luca a smooth procedure and a full recovery
