Resources

Here are some great mental health resources that I've found. I'm listing them here by category. If you have any updates or additions, email me at mhprogressnotes@gmail.com.

Addiction/Substance Abuse:
American Society of Addiction Medicine - In depth definitions of substance use/addiction and lots of empirical data available.
NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse -  Resource to help you find more resources! Also, learn about clinical trials in your area (research is important!).

SMART Recovery * - This is a great alternative for those not interested in joining AA/NA groups. SMART is both secular and focuses on harm reduction, rather than abstinence.

American Psychological Association - I love APA's resources. Find research, get additional resources, and read news stories about anxiety disorders.

National Institute of Health (NIH) - Scientifically-heavy resource to learn about the wide variety of anxiety disorders, their symptoms and available treatments.

loveisrespect - Important website to shed light on youth and young adults dealing with dating violence. They have a crisis phone line, chat line, and texting service. This website does not have a quick escape button.
National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) - NCADV is a great website in general, but their "What is Domestic Violence?" page is in-depth and very helpful.
National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) - Great website to learn more about public policy and how DV affects our society on a macro scale.
NOMORE.org - The org behind a ton of DV campaigns (including the ones during the Super Bowl). Check them out and share.

Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network (RAINN) - RAINN is the leading org for sexual assault in the nation. Website is extensive regarding SA 101, getting help, and providing support to others who have been affected. Their hotline is at 800.656.4673.
US Dept of Veterans Affairs/MST - Information on military sexual trauma (cross-posted to "Veterans")
WomensHealth.gov - Great FAQ on sexual assault, although it focuses mostly on women as the survivors, while in reality, anyone can be assaulted.

Notes
*You may notice I don't provide the information for AA/NA. It is not that I do not condone these groups or that they don't work for people (they do!), but I am much more interested in harm reduction than I am abstinence when it comes to substance use/abuse.
**Many domestic violence websites have "quick escape" buttons for those in dangerous situations who can't safely peruse the site. For my DV resources, I will specify if I list a website without one.
***Serious Mental Illness is a distinction for certain diagnoses, including Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, and sometimes PTSD. Before I learned it was a specific category of diagnoses, I was totally offended by the term. Even now, I think it may not be the best term to use, but please know that I am using it in a clinical way, not it any derogatory ways.
***Psychology Today is what many - including myself - would call a "pop psychology" website. It seems that they focus more on sensational stories, rather than empirically-based psychology articles. I do not necessarily endorse their website, other than the Find the Therapist database, which I think is fantastic.
