IMMEDIATE, FREE HELP AND RESOURCES

​

​

Sometimes things hurt so badly, it is difficult to wait for help. We despair, we feel no one cares.

​

PLEASE - lots of us out here care A LOT.

​

Check out some or all of these resources. Warm voices with great advice await you on the other end.

​

NOTE: Want immediate help but not to talk to anyone? Go to NJPsychologistsCare.org - select any category!
