Resources

I hope that you will find the following resource list helpful. As a parent and counselor, I find that the overwhelming amount of information available on the internet can often add to my confusion. I wanted to provide you with some quick links to trusted sites that are a great place to start when you have a question or concern. This list is a work in progress and I will continue to update and provide links over time. If you would like to contribute information, please contact me.
