Where To Go

As of right now, I am a second year college student going for a bachelor's degree in psychology. So I am nowhere near qualified to provide professional help. I am willing to chat with any of you who are going through a rough situation.

But for those who need assistance quickly, I've included an extensive list of hotlines after the jump. These not only include depression/suicide hotlines, but there are also numbers to call and websites to visit in case of (domestic/child/dating) abuse, bullying/cyberbullying, sexual assault, incest, rape, drug/alcohol abuse, youth/teen crisis, sexual health, pregnancy/abortion, teen parenting, LGBT issues, self harm, grief and loss, homelessness/runaways, eating disorders, mental illnesses, stress, anxiety, etc.

The following information comes from the Teen Heath and Wellness website.
