Resources and Links to Mental Health Information

The following sites offer information and resources. Obtaining mental health information on-line is a useful accompaniment to face-to-face consultations with professionals, but it should not be used to self-diagnose or treat problems. If you are experiencing a problem, Counseling Services strongly encourages you to talk with a member of our staff for confidential advice and assistance.  Neither MCPHS nor Counseling Services endorses the following agencies/providers/organizations or the professionals who may be affiliated with them.  You should not consider any of them as “approved” by MCPHS or MCPHS Counseling Services.
