I want counseling.. where do I go?

My friend needs help -- what do I do?

First and foremost -- if they are in crisis seek professional help. 

They may be mad - but they will thank you later -- call a hotline/911 or the police at your University or in your Town if they or someone else is in danger.

                                   

If a crisis is not occurring - become educated -- and encourage them to seek the professional help as needed. You alone can not offer them enough support yourself when facing a mental illness. Also -- seek support yourself (from other friends, or maybe even set up a consultation with a counselor yourself!)
