Description

Here, in a single volume, is a guide to over 500 organizations, hotlines, associations, and self-help groups that are the most helpful to mental health and human services professionals and their clients. This handy directory provides addresses and phone numbers for national offices, as well as brief descriptions, of the organizations that serve children and youth, minorities, the handicapped, older persons, families, the mentally retarded, the homeless, and women. Organizations related to the environment, health and disease, political and social action, fund raising, labor and employment, law enforcement and corrections, and housing are also included. Social services professionals will find this volume to be indispensable for keeping informed about existing resources to help their clients, for maintaining and developing their professional competencies, and for networking by both professionals and clients.
