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.
