RESOURCES

The following are some Northern California resources that can help support self-inquiry and mental-emotional health.


Mental Health

THE TALK LINE

The TALK Line is a 24-hour hotline for parents (with children under 18) to call for any reason. They also have a play room with drop-in groups and counseling. It’s a wonderful organization and great resource for parents.

Intergral Counseling Centers

These low-fee therapy clinics are run by the California Institute of Integral Studies and staffed by CIIS practicum students and interns. If my fee scale is beyond your current means, an ICC might be a good fit.

CIIS not only has undergrad and graduate degree programs, their public offerings are diverse and inspiring.
