As an outpatient therapist, I often work with families who are looking for additional therapeutic support. Secondary MassHealth is a great resource here in Massachusetts to gain additional financial support and services for your child’s mental health needs. To qualify, you do _not_ need to have a certain income; you can qualify if your child has a disability that has been on-going and is expected to last beyond a year. To learn more, visit the following sites:
