Resources
There are many helpful resources available for nearly any circumstance you may be facing. Here are just a few that you can check out for yourself. These resources represent perspectives and methods which have proven useful to many over the years, but I encourage you to evaluate whether they are a good fit for you based on your own goals and values. Participation or following any of these resources is solely at your own discretion and views presented through these groups and websites are not always a reflection of the views that I hold. Resources marked with an * have some faith-based affiliation.
