Self Help Links

The internet has become the #1 place people turn to for information, advice and referrals. Below you will find a small selection of mental health related self help quizzes, articles, and resources from a variety of websites. I encourage you to browse around and explore.

Please be advised that these are in NO WAY A REPLACEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP, be that medical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Neither should they be considered as diagnostic tools, or endorsements by me, but rather information that I hope you find interesting and helpful.
