"Secular" Support Groups
Local
Organizations
County Departments of Mental Health often make referrals. Other resources include the
"National Councils" such as the National Council on Alcoholism. Check your local
phone book or call 1-800-475-HOPE. Local crisis hotlines are also a potential source of
referrals. Check your local phone book - it's probably the best single source for finding
these kinds of resources!
