It’s for my friend, yada yada yada.
It’s a mental health center, part of a hospital,
and If he gets checked in he doesn’t want to burden his parents with the cost.
Thanks.

I need some MAJOR dental work done and I’ve thought about getting on Medicaid to help me pay for it as it will be way too expensive and I can’t afford most of the work I need done right now. I’ve looked into going to a dentistry school/clinic as I’ve heard it is much cheaper than private dentists (btw does anyone have a rough estimate of how much it would cost to go to a dentistry school/clinic, i need a few root canals/crowns done..)

But the one last thing people tell me about is Health Centers. What are they? I’ve heard sometimes they will provide free dental care to even people that need major services, i.e. root canals, crowns, etc. Or they are even cheaper than a private dentist and/or dentistry clinic/school.

I’ve heard of 2 Health Centers in Nebraska. CHARLES DREW HEALTH CENTER and ONE WORLD COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER…

Is there anyone out there who knows about these Health Centers?

I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this!

Thank you.
I heard you get care from them regardless if you have health insurance, and they charge you based on your income and what you make, being as I have no income, I have no job, I temporarily live with parents for the moment, how will this work out? I can probably do a "down payment" kind of thing for them like ,000.

so Im an international student so the only way I have access to medical care is by the school health insurance. However, because the school is lead by a specific religion, would they be able to get me in birth control if I go to a genecologist there? My parents are not here, so I can’t take my mom with me, which is safer but I just want to know how to ask for it

Hello

In the mental health sector of social services, patients will have a meeting with the social service’s to have their needs reviewed.
This usually occurs every 6 months or a year.

These meetings are supposed to discussed things like the patients behavior and communication, health, money, learning, leisure, future plans, eligibility criteria and so on.
Often with children, parents attend these meetings.

What would the correct terminology be that the social services department would give to such meetings.

I have heard them called ‘case reviews’, ‘CPA meetings’, ‘review meetings’ and so on.
What do the social service department call them? and give me a list of as many other names for them as you can.

I have PDD-NOS and when I was about 14 my parents brought be to a health center that specializes in autism. Lets call the place X. Anyway, my parents were always directly involved in my treatment. After a few years the treatment ended.

It was not till I was about 18-19 years old that I decided myself to look for help. The doctor refered me to center X. I was the one being treated and I explicitly told them that I didn’t want my parents involved or that they were told that I was going there.

I was still living at home, and was recieving letters from the center. On the envelope it was also clear that it was from the center X. My parents would inevitably get to know that I was being treated there. I thought and think that this is very insensitive of the people working there. Apart from only me getting letters, my parents themselves also recieved an invitation to one of the group sessions I was following- all unknown to me until my parents mentioned it.

I decided not to …..
Continue my treatment there. Further treatments were at more general centers.

Now, about 9 years later my psychologist wants me to go to center X to follow social trainings program for people with autism.

One or two of the same people are still working there. I don’t know what to do. On one hand it would be great to get more treatment, on the other hand I have very bad experiences with them. Back then they had no respect for me.

What should I do?

I notice that my friend is always moody, anxious, and depressed. I don’t know what happened to her but she started acting this ways after her parents divorced. I tried to talk to her but she told that she’s fine. I’m afraid that she’s having mental and emotional problems. I care for her so I hope I can find a center that offers mental health services here in Manhattan.
