Mental Health America (MHA): MHA provides resources and screening tools to help individuals understand their mental health needs.
Online Resources
Therapy Apps: Apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace connect individuals with licensed therapists for online counseling.
Educational Websites: Websites like MentalHealth.gov provide valuable information on mental health topics, including specific resources for minority communities.
