I know that in Ontario you can see peer support workers, which are usually free. They are lower down on the ladder, and they have specific training and each have experienced their own mental illness in their lives. I don't know if they work with those under 18 though. I know that certain family doctors that work in a clinic may have a therapist or social worker on staff. That is the jackpot cause you can usually see those social workers or therapists for free on an ongoing basis indefinitely. I don't know what age you are, if you are talking about HS or what level of education you are in.
