seeking mental health help but broke. please read full post.

as the title says. me and my brother both struggle with mental health issues and are currently seeing a free psychiatrist that we were referred to by a GP. he's unhelpful to say the least. we attended free counseling at mental health and addiction services a few years back but it is "short, goal based counseling" and after about five appointments they close your file. unfortunately we have some chronic issues that require more help.

luckily i now get free counseling at the sexual assault center and they're great but that doesn't apply to my brother. we're both currently on the SAID program so don't have a lot of money to pay for a psychiatrist or psychologist. last summer i was told by multiple people in a therapy group at the SA center that they see an unpaid professional psychologist who helps them long term. i have asked around and called the U of S mental health program (was recommended to me) but nobody seems to know what i'm talking about or has any information for me. my GP had no clue either.

does anybody know if there is a way to see a long term therapist of some sort for free or a low price? was there a program that no longer exists and that is why i can't find it? doesn't need to be able to give medication because our mostly unhelpful psychiatrist does that, but even just a therapist would be helpful. we both struggle with really chronic issues (thanks mom and dad) and i need some help that is not just for mild mental health or helping people get back on their feet after struggling with addiction etc. online counseling is also a bit of a bust because it seems to be short term as well. my brother is really struggling and it's hard to see him go through this. if you have ANY ideas please comment or DM me. sorry for the long post.

(also just to be clear, we are both medicated and are not currently at risk of harming ourselves or others so please don't be concerned in that matter)
