Treatment Unavailable

[LuckyDuck]

Being on disability, it's difficult to find treatment options for myself. I'm wondering if it's possible to network through this site to find what is available.

A few years ago I might have been covered for therapy, but now those on disability who are covered are covered because of a grandfather law.

I hope this thread goes somewhere. I would want this thread to be for anybody searching who has faced similar barriers like I have.

Thank you,

LD

May I ask - what kind disability are you? No offend here and I'm Deaf. I know the resources for disabilities as well.

 

[LuckyDuck]

Some neurological and some mental health disabilities.

Would any kind of victims compensation apply in your case or in your country?

 

[LuckyDuck]

No for the first. The second one, I don't know.

Luckyduck, not sure where in Canada you live but in Ontario there are therapy programmes covered by OHIP. I don't know as much about the other provinces and territories but I do know a decent amount about services in Ontario :)

 

[LuckyDuck]

Which ones? I'm in Ontario. And there might not be anymore, due to grandfather laws.

This might sound kind of weird, but have you ever considered hiring a therapist through Presto Experts? I have used it in the past for other things and it's been quite helpful. It's a little pricey, but figure, $50 for once a month counseling is even a step. Phone options are available and sometimes even video. Lots of options. Obviously, not very good if you need medication, but for someone to talk to, it would be worth it.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

I don't know about Ontario, but in some parts of Canada there is free counseling through community service societies. Have you looked into that?

There is therapy in Ontario through the hospital. I mean it isn't always the greatest but it is something!
