I think it would be very helpful if everyone had the ability to have access to a number of free counseling. Maybe 4 or 5 sessions per family member that was paid by insurance. Counseling for any problems. Maybe even the employers pay for a certain number of visits per employee per year. I do know some jobs are lot more stressful than others, but if everyone had the choice to seek a few visits each year, lives I would think would be better. I had a job that was extremely stressful, for all in my area. You could see it, hear it and we all new we worked in a very stressful environment. I have thought of this for a few years, since the time I had that very stressful job. I can tell you I know it would have helped me out in that job and in my marriage.

This should have been covered under your medical insurance. Or if it's a large company, they would likely have an EAP you could access.

Now, under your medical insurance, they may have limited people in-network, and it may take time to get in with someone, but there's supposed to be parity with mental health coverage.

I do have coverage under my insurance for counseling. I'm just saying not all insurance covers this and hardly any businesses offer a certain number of counseling appointments.

But that's what I'm saying; if a company offers medical insurance, under parity laws, they have to offer mental health coverage. If they don't offer medical insurance, then they obviously don't have to offer mental health coverage.

My insurance and/or EAP has always covered 4-5 appointments. It is not enough, but it’s a start. Not many therapists in my area took insurance though, so that was a pain. But yeah, would be great if everyone could get the help they need.

Bearly breathing, I agree, 4 or 5 that are covered are not enough, I'm thinking more like 10 or twelve. I just wonder if one, we would have less school shootings or mass shootings across the country. Happier employees and less suicide rates int this country.

I've got BCBS and our plan covers unlimited visits at no cost for anything mental health related. We have our choice of telehealth providers or in-office clinics. I'm just getting started with one for divorce transition therapy. You know, keep me from going crazy while we erase 11 years of what I thought was a great marriage so she can go find herself......

That's great Survivor24. The insurance part. Unlimited. That would be nice. Hopefully the counseling will help you. I know my counseling has helped me. I wish I could have been brave enough to go to counseling before I started my affairs. I am now able to see that it would have helped and would definitely see a counselor. I am currently seeing one now, trying to fix the problems I created.
