E Resources
Below are some quick links to a number of e-Mental Health Programs, in no apparent order, for you to browse through:
These resources can be fantastic to use between your counselling sessions or as preparation for counselling. Sometimes people may benefit from support but are not ready to engage in counselling. Accessing information online can be a non- threatening way to begin.
Also, some of the links are to services which I don't provide or are free of charge for people who are unable to afford the cost counselling at this time.
