Important Note: Resources that are self-help groups online or in person are not professionally managed, and are not a replacement for professional and specialized treatment. If you utilize a self-help group and/or online support community, it is important to review the group or website’s information to see whether their mission and activities match your needs in a healthy and beneficial manner.
