Also, check out ITunes or Google Play for Apps.  Search ‘Mental Health’ ‘Coping Tools’ ‘Suicide Prevention’ etc. Make sure to analyze who developed these apps and use critical thinking skills when picking out apps to look at. Many of these can be very helpful but remember they don’t substitute for seeking help from a doctor, mental health counselor or substance abuse counselor.
