Many parents struggle to pay for their own needed prescription medications. For a parent with a mental health need, proper medication is crucial to functioning at a level that enables them to care for their children appropriately. The resources below are for Patient Assistance Programs for various medications. In most cases, the physician's office has to send in the request.
