We will be talking to Wendy directly about online support options for
the individual  mentioned but thought others might want to know about 2
good general sources of information. The Self-Help Resource Centre in
Toronto is beginning a project to link to all Canadian online supports
on our web site, currently at www3.sympatico.ca/shrc. Watch for
expansion news in the next few months ! Also, the US site affiliated
with the National Self-Help Clearinghouse in New Jersey, is worth
tapping into. See www.cmhc.com/selfhelp for more details. Please also
feel free to call the Self-Help Resource Centre at 416-487-4355 or our
new toll-free line - 1-888-283-8806 for any specific group info.
