Useful links

Slowly, ever so slowly this blog comes together.

I've started adding links with some useful information on the right.  It's looking awfully scant at the moment, but I'll add more links if I find some good ones.  So far we have:

http://www.anxietyaustralia.com.au/ A support site covering a variety of anxiety disorders, including panic, social phobia and PTSD.

http://www.aspia.org.au/ Resources for those in a relationship with someone with an autistic spectrum disorder

http://www.autism-help.org/ Info for parents of an Autistic child

http://www.autismspectrum.org.au/ Home of the Aspect organisation.  Lots info for people with ASDs, their families, friends, educators and health professionals, support groups, fundraisers, conferences and social events.

http://www.beyondblue.org.au// Beyondblue is a mental health awareness organisation.  Has info about support systems available for those living with mental illness in Australia.

http://www.livewire.org.au/ An online community for people under 21 for people living with chronic physical and mental health issues.  Also has support sites for family members.

http://moodgym.anu.edu.au/welcome Personally I'm not a fan of self help, but if you don't want to pay $200 a session with a psychologist for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) then this program is for you. Can be done wherever you have a computer. 

http://www.wrongplanet.net/ Thought of as a community for people with ASDs but all 'neurodiverse' people (Tourettes, Bipolar, Schizophrenics etc) can find something here.  Plenty of resourses and people prepared to share their live lessons.

http://www.ybblue.com.au/ Sister site of BeyondBlue.  Provides mental health awareness for school age children.
