Hello!

So - in a separate thread a few other players discussed having a Mental Health thread, so that we could share resources! While we do have my usual Mental Health Check in Thread - that is more geared towards discussion. This thread will specifically be resources that are listed, so that they are easily accessible for anyone in need of a little more support or some professional support.

As always, my inbox is always open and I am ALWAYS here for y'all! But, I am not a professional - and I think it's important that we are able to point y'all towards professionals if you need that advice.

Now - I am in the US. So many of the resources that I am aware of are geared towards the US. But, my hopes are that other players can help to share the resources that they are aware of in other countries as well!

Mango's Prayer Group : I just wanted to comment here and say that if you ever need prayer or want someone to talk to, I'm also 100% ready to talk. Prayer has been the one and only thing that brings me peace and comfort 100% of the time, and it has helped me get through each and every one of my losses. I will always recommend it ^^
