Down is the other direction.

Anyway, I haven't been a support leader for very long, but these are the pages I have bookmarked so far:

WikiHow how to stop cutting yourself -- it's different from yours, surprisingly

A page on the effects of Rape Trauma Syndrome

A page on teen depression

Tips to get rid of anxiety and stress

When and how to apologize

TeensHealth: Getting over a breakup

That's all I've got now, but it's a growing collection.

The only one I have used is for the Morning After Pill as I found it extremely useful when I went through that.

From a distance you look like my friend,

even though we are at war.

A lot of the links in the TDEI FAQ (http://www.golivewire.com/forums/peer-tatne-support-a.html) are really great...I know the Friends' Guide to Self-Harm which helps Non-SIers understand SI is useful for eHelps of that subject.

I don't know, I think I am 70/40 on this issue. I always give it my 110%.

Ha, I love it. xD

http://www.emergencybirthcontrol.org/FAQ_home.htm (It's about Plan B)

Other than that, normally I ask.com for websites at the moment, because I'll usually be looking for something specific.

So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Aw!),
Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!)
An interjection starts a sentence right.

Suicide and depression:
Read before you commit suicide
Talking to people who self harm

Anger management:
Anger management
...more anger management
Control your anger

[from Keren's group:]
Love yourself as a teen girl
First and foremost: You gotta love yourself!
Ten steps to self confidence
Improve your self esteem

And that's about it. I'll be sure to add on some more links later on.

It would be handy if there was some kind of support leader wiki, where we can all contribute resources that can help us in our job :)

I've beem meaning to suggest this for a while. I'll get round to it soon.
