Mental Health America

Mental Health · Connecticut · Free

Free mental health screening tools and connection to local mental health resources. Relevant for older adults with dementia caregivers reporting personality changes — depression and dementia can look similar. Most therapy practices accept Medicare Part B (covers 80% after deductible) and Medicare Advantage plans. Most therapists who accept Medicare are LCSWs and clinical psychologists; psychiatrists are scarcer and often have waitlists. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
