Where to Get Help - Addictions and Mental Illness

Mental illness is reaching record proportions. Not surprising considering everything going on in our society. It is almost as if it is being done on purpose. But that is a topic for another article. In this article, I simply want to point out some places of possible help for those who need it. Please share this directory of help sources with others.
