Acerca del Proyecto Pro Bono

La meta del proyecto de asesoramiento gratuito es aumentar el acceso al asesoramiento en salud mental para personas, parejas, o familias que no tienen seguro social o que no pueden pagar.

Este asesoramiento es de corto plazo (hasta 12 sesiones en un periódo de 3 o 6 meses) con un proveedor profesional y licenciado de salud mental sin costo para el cliente. Los terapeutas voluntarios deben tener una licencia activa en Indiana y cobertura de mala praxis.

Este programa está diseñado para ayudarle a enfrentar

  • Problemas de Relaciones
  • Estrés en la crianza de los hijos y otros estresores de la vida
  • Transiciones
  • Problemas de la escuela o el trabajo
  • Problemas de la adaptación
  • Duelo/Pérdida
  • Ansiedad o depresión, leve a moderada
Cualificaciones del Programa

Terapia de corto plazo es un gran servicio para personas, parejas, y familias con problemas agudos.

Al recibir su solicitud la revisaremos para asegurarnos de que es un buen candidato para este proyecto. Tenemos en cuenta su situación laboral y de seguro, así como su estrés financiero y el tipo de problema que espera tratar con un terapeuta.

Mientras dando su tiempo el terapeuta, se espera que el cliente haga todo lo posible por acudir a las citas programadas. El terapeuta puede elegir terminar el servicio tras faltar a varias citas. Si el terapeuta asignado o solicitante determina que las necesidades del cliente no serán bien satisfechas por el terapeuta, el PBCP ayudará a conectar el cliente con otro terapeuta o servicio.

La siguiente lista son problemas que son mejor atendidas a través de otros proveedores y organizaciones en la comunidad. Estaremos encantados de ayudar a conectar a los solicitantes con otros servicios comunitarios apropiados.

  • Abuso activo de drogas o alcohol.
  • Actualmente en una relación abusivo o violento.
  • Se necesita documentos por una discapacidad.
  • Se necesita pruebas psicológicas.
  • Busca atención psiquiátrica.
  • Enfermedad mental grave.
  • Necesita asesoramiento/consejería por orden judicial.
  • Niños menores de 18 años a menos que participen en terapia familiar.
  • Solicitantes que reciben asesoramiento de otra fuente.
  • Para los solicitantes que pueden pagar una escala móvil, vamos a referir fuera de nuestra lista de proveedores de la comunidad que aceptan escala móvil.
  • Los solicitantes que son elegibles para el seguro pero no lo reciben serán examinados para determinar que apoyo/servicio se necesita.
