HSE counseling wait times are hitting crisis levels—with over 6,000 people stuck on lists, up 47% since 2021. Over 1,700 have waited six months or more, including trauma survivors whose delays risk worsening their mental health.

New funding aims to expand services for men, LGBTQ+ folks, and youth—but critics demand urgent action: remove financial barriers and set clear targets to slash wait times and meet real need.
