sorry to overwhelm you with information, but just 2 more things: 1) i noticed on your profile that you're a vegetarian- if you do decide to go in (and i'm definitely not advocating that you do or don't; i just want you to have as much information as possible to make an informed decision) make sure that they note that upon your admission and be assertive in forcing them to comply. there are some hospitals that think vegetarian means serving the rice and vegetables with the chicken removed. if you have someone who can bring you food, ask the staff to label it and put it in the staff refrigerator.
2)if you're looking for outpatient care, i found these 2 things that seem pretty positive: http://www.cambridgewomenscenter.org/programs/projects.html Women's Counseling and Resource Center - The Women's Counseling and Resource Center (WCRC) is a collective of licensed therapists, offering individual psychotherapy to women who are low-income and have no health insurance. Each therapist volunteers her time. WCRC provides a one-to-one relationship with a skilled counselor to women who cannot afford therapy at the Women's Center.
also, the Transformation Center is a peer operated center devoted to wellness and recovery. i know some of the people who work there and they all fucking rock. the website is due to be updated at the moment, but i think you can find more information if you contact the awesome folks at m-power [slogan: "nothing about us without us"]: http://www.m-power.org/ " The Transformation Center is a peer-operated center that is spinning off from M-POWER to strengthen a mental health focus on wellness and life recovery. We currently offer training for Peer Specialist Certification, Leadership Academy, WRAP Facilitation, Recovery Conversations for Providers and more. Efforts will expand advocacy, resources & information, peer programs & evaluation, and policy input from people with lived experience of mental health conditions and/or addictions. Watch for the new website in June 2007 at Transformation-center.org. Visit our supporters now at mamhtransformation.org.
