Q: Looking for low income or probono legal aid, for someone with mental disabilities who has been repeatedly abused

I am looking for help in filing charges against a psych nurse who has repeatedly encouraged me to self harm over the last 4 years and has on multiple occasions violated my hippa, She has knowingly and willingly encouraged self harm and told me several times to commit suicide. I have attempted several times to get a restraining order and attempt to get protection from this person with no success as the courts have not been easily accessible or accommodating to my mental health issues and general health. As this has been a repeat thing the nurse has continually harrassed and threatened me. Continual intimidation from her has left me with zero protection and the ability to file a professional complaint. I am loosing my life to this and have no resources to continue the fight to gain protection from my abuser.
