Free Counseling Online for Long Islanders

I've been moaning about how nasty everyone seems to be around here lately and perhaps some of the people I encounter are in need of some mental health help. Good news!! There is free online therapy available and it's anonymous. I think this is a really good service and it deserves more publicity so people who need it know it's there. I read about it in a local paper. Have a look around the website. They also do phone counseling.
