Free Drug Education Materials from NIDA

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is the lead Federal agency for research on drug abuse and addiction, and like the National Mental Health Association, NIDA works to prevent substance abuse among our Nation's youth, schools, and communities. To that effort, NIDA has created the NIDA Goes Back to School (NGBTS) campaign for children, teens, and the adults who influence them, including science/health teachers, curriculum developers, science chairpersons, school nurses/counselors, and youth-health advocates. The campaign is a source for FREE science-based publications and teaching materials for grades K-12. The materials emphasize the consequences of drug abuse on the brain and the body, and aim to increase scientific literacy. Visit www.BacktoSchool.drugabuse.gov or call (800) 729-6686 to order FREE publications and teaching materials for grades K-12.

Mental Health Resources for Consumers and Professionals

What's your Line?

Tell us your specialty or area of special interest.  We are frequently asked to make referrals to mental health professionals with specific skills or specialty areas, such as ADHD children, Bi-Polar children, Respite Care, Group Therapy, etc.  Call us at 314-773-1399 or send e-mail to info@mhagstl.org, with "Practice Specialty" in the subject line.

In particular, we see a need in the community for low cost anger management therapy, especially in groups.  We often get requests for information for such a service.  Some callers are self-referred, while others are court-ordered.  As you might expect, those in the court-ordered group are usually those with the fewest resources to pay for services.  Professionals and agencies looking to increase their client base and diversify their services may wish to move in this direction.

Thank you to our Open Mind respondents through the years!  

For decades, mental health professionals in the St. Louis area have been kind enough to volunteer their time and expertise to answer questions posed by consumers in our Open Mind column, appearing in local publications, including the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the Suburban Journals all over the metro area.  Open Mind is no longer being published, but we maintain an archive of articles that continue to be valid examples of the expertise of our local mental health professional community.  Thanks!
