I just found out that one of my children's friends is cutting. I have no idea how to help this person except to provide them with resources for help. This individual is in their early twenties and cannot afford to pay for a therapist.

Please provide any resources that I can point them to, AND QUICK!

Thanks in advance. Prayers for this young person are welcome, of course.

If they are in school, most colleges and universities offer free counseling for students.

MeckLink is the "portal" for accessing county mental health services. Their call center # is 704-336-6404. They are supposed to assess a person needs and make referrals for services.

Not a student but that was a good thought. I also thought about insurance where this person works but they are only part-time...no insurance, parent's don't have insurance, and parent's don't know.

I know the focus is rape/sexual abuse, but they also help with other issues. You don't have to be recovering from rape or sexual abuse to benefit from their services.
