Resources
Through researching topics for my books, as well as through my work as a counsellor, I often come across information regarding mental health disorders, addictions, and other personal health related topics. This page is dedicated to collecting those resources and sharing them with those who many benefit from them. This page will be updated often as I come across new resources.
*Please note that although I try to collect information from academically supported sources, they are no substitute for talking to a trained professional. Please use at your own discretion.
