RESOURCES

There are many great resources out there for those who struggle with mental illness or suicidal thoughts. My book, Harnessing Darkness: Expressing Mental Illness Through Poetry can sometimes be a challenging read due to the subject matter. That’s why I included various websites in the back of my book to help those who struggle with mental illness or suicidal ideations. I am not a medical doctor and cannot provide medical advice. If you or a loved one are struggling, please be sure to visit any of these sites:

National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)

American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP)

The Trevor Project

GLBT National Help Center

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)

National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
