From this website, there were many links that can be led to all different kinds of pyschology programs academys and and different sub categories of psychology. I felt that this webiste was the most helpful because it shows me all the options and gives a brief description of each website and gives you an outlook on what each organization's goal is for people and those with mental illness. If one is interested in the field of psychology such as myself this is probably the website to go to.
There was one link that caught my eye,the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, because I want to work with children, helping, teaching and just giving them a great outlook on life.It's an orgainzation that helps to teach you of childhood mental illness and get a better understanding. On the home page it gives information on where to find child and adolescent psychiatrists, facts about mental illness for families, AACAP rescourse centers etc. The organizations have many different types of centers from helping children with sevre mental illness to counciling children who have drug related problems, problems at home etc. I think that I will keep this webiste in mind most definetly as the years go on and career comes into place.
