Resources
Support beyond the therapy hour.
A hand-picked list of crisis support, directories, trusted reading, and authoritative mental-health information - including resources from the National Institutes of Health. Not a substitute for care, but a starting place, especially if therapy isn't accessible right now, or you just need something to hold onto between sessions.
