We have readers from so many countries, if you can add to the list of resources, or if I have made any mistakes, please let me (Ruby) know in the comments, or privately at acanvasoftheminds@gmail.com so that I may make additions or corrections as needed. All emails will be held in the strictest confidence, though please note, I am not in any way qualified as a counselor.

If you are not in acute distress, but need more help than we can offer here, please visit our Resources, Support, & Information page. But above all, remember. . . You Are Not Alone
