33 Ways To Stretch Your Mental Health Dollars

Most of us know what it’s like to have more month than money.  It can be painfully frustrating to stare at the phone or computer screen while willing those dollars and cents to multiply in the account.

So what do you do when your mental health is on the line and the dollar just won’t stretch far enough?  More and more, this question is becoming part of the daily conversation in American households.  If you find yourself in this situation, consider downloading our resource describing 33 ways to stretch your mental health dollars and get more bang from your hard-earned buck.  Through it, you’ll learn how to stretch your medications, mental health appointments, mental health payments, health insurance, access to local resources, and relationships with medical providers to get the most progress toward your mental health goals.  Whether it’s by adjusting medication supplies, altering the frequency of medication appointments, or tapping that semi-forgotten flexible spending account, it’s important for everyone to know how to get the most from their local and national mental health resources.

To support individuals dealing with side effects and interactions from mental health medications, we also offer the PADRS-10, a 1-page checklist for screening psychiatric medication side effects.
