The Inclusion program This program aims to integrate all burn victims, children, and young people into society, accept themselves, discover and develop their skills so that they can integrate and coexist again in society in different places, institutions, and with different community groups, where survivors of burn accidents suffer from various psychological problems, as a consequence of the trauma they suffered because of the accident and because of the deformities and scars they leave. Both the injured and their families are subjected to bullying and sometimes to societal rejection, both from strangers and relatives, which deepens psychological problems and personality disorder, affecting the bond between the injured person and the rest of the family in a negative way and significantly disrupting the relationship. Both shaking or family bonding affects the formation of the characters of burners and their vision of life, children in particular, which naturally affects their positive mental maturity, decisions in life and their life choices at all levels, from choosing the preferred type of games and friends to choosing friends, living forms, habits, adopting different behaviors and achievements.

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
