Mental Health

Our neurodiverse community can be a useful place for peer support. However, our community members and staff are NOT trained mental health professionals and we can't serve as a replacement for professional help. If you're in distress, please seek the help of a licensed therapist and/or psychiatrist or from a hotline. Here are some resources that may help.
