Helpful Resources Disclaimer and Accuracy Info...
All links and material featured here are as accurate as of: November 6, 2024 .Before you read the rest of this page, I want to stress that resources will ONLY be added if content suggested by others are relevant to various issues and topics in this page pass a personal review of the resource(s). Websites that seem suspicious or of a spammy nature may not be included. I want to offer resources from clean and credible sources. If any sites listed here are of a suspicious nature or may deliver spam, please let me know to remove any bad websites. I am a single entity, so I may be busy or simply forget to review certain sites. PLEASE be patient with me.
I try to reply to every suggested resource. If I added an approved resource and you continually contact me as it I haven't replied or approved your message, you will be blocked (but the resource will remain in the Helpful Resources). Please make sure to check the Helpful Resources to ensure any suggested resource is there. You may need to remind me to review your resource(s) if I take too long. Do not just say you want to contribute and then don't want to check in to see if I approved the resource or not. The last thing I want is a possible scammer who does not want to actually contribute despite efforts to get me involved.
I charge no money for any resources requesting to be part of this Resource page. Paying any money is purely voluntary, but would be appreciated. If any resources want to donate money, I am willing to accept anywhere between $5 USD to $50 USD. Again, though- I do not charge anything or request any money for resources to be featured in my Resource pages, though I do appreciate if people want to donate money. I'll accept money through PayPal. (NOTE: Any PayPal donations are final.)
(ADDED: August 19, 2024) I have added a new Helpful Resource hotlines section for people to call for added assistance. If you have any hotlines I should suggest adding, please contact me. This will help add many more resources for people to get the assistance they need or be able to talk to someone for assistance with life issues.
Having said all of this, let's begin the recovery process!
Welcome to the Helpful Resources of "John's Life Space!"
There is already enough negative and hurtful online media; why not some HELPFUL online media for a change?
Welcome to "John's Life Space!" This is my life issues blog devoted to a number of different life issues. I want to make this blog as helpful a resource as I can for all of my readers and visitors. Besides expressing my thoughts on a number of issues, I feel the need to provide extra resources to help enhance and expand the topics I discuss on "John's Life Space." Therefore, I have set up this resources page which you have landed on. In these insane times in a mad society, at least you landed on a place MUCH better than the same old negativity and trolling you'll find elsewhere online. This blog and this page are not exactly sanctuary, but at least this place is better than seeing all the same old trolling and memes you would find elsewhere.
This page features a handful of online resources you can use in case you need some professional help. This includes non-profit (or not-for-profit) and professional resources. There are also different categories that will be added to help expand the appeal of this page. More resources will be added to this page as I find more resources to assist you. Or, you may help contribute to these causes by offering your own support.
Please note that these are various resources for many different causes. Some of these resources may not be suitable for all audiences. All or most of these resources online are meant for mostly an American audience. Some material may also be catered to my native Houston-Galveston area audience. However, I may make strides to offer resources for non-American audiences. If a resource was meant for a non-American audience, the region or country listed will be in parentheses () next to the link. You can still use different resources even if they were not meant for one specific region or country.
Thank you for over 5,000 views to this page (as of January 15, 2022)! I am proud this massive resource page has been of help to you. I hope to provide more resources to this page soon. You can help!
Helpful Resources Notes...
This page is a constant work-in-progress. Online resources and different categories are constantly being added to this page to help cater to a number of different life issues and health-related content. It is preferred that the different resources offered are of a professional quality.If you want to offer a resource that should be included in this roundup or may be of use to my readers/visitors, please contact me (serious inquiries only). I will then review and research the resource to approve it. The review process is to make sure whatever offered resources do not lead to spam websites (or if the given resource is a spam website or potentially spam website) and that the given resource can actually be helpful for readers and visitors. I usually reply immediately when I properly review and approve a given resource. I want to make this page helpful to all of my visitors. Your suggestions are helping me help others seek online resource to address any number of life issues. So please help me to make this resource page useful for everyone, or at least... useful for as many people as possible. Thank you.
I do not check every link regularly to see if they are still valid, so please contact me about any resources that are broken links. All links are valid based on my latest update(s) and edit(s) to this page. Some resources may be featured more than once in one category or in multiple categories. I want you to not only take advantage of these resources, but also I want you to visit my blog posts related to the individual topics featured here. Learn about the importance of various topics featured in this "Helpful Resources" page rather than just visit this specific page and move on. I would like for you to support my blogging work if you found this page useful.
OPTIONAL, but recommended: If you have a Resource you want me to review, I would like for you to tell me what category you think your Resource should fall under. This will make it easier for me to determine what category to include your resource in. Anything that does not fit into any category will be added to my "Other Topics" section. Remember- each suggested resource must be approved before I can add them. I will usually reply to you via E-Mail of my decision. If you want to contribute a resource geared towards LGBT+/LGBTQ+/LGBTQIA+, then take a look at my LGBT Resources page.
Helpful Resources I Am Looking For.
I am looking for resources relevant to life issues mostly to stay consistent with "John's Life Space." This can include mental health help, advice for relationship matters, food and fitness insights, financial matters, anything related to life issues or trying to make lives better. Only any resources related to life issues or certain things related to making life better for others will be accepted on this page. I usually respond as soon as I can once I learn of someone offering me a resource and after I review that resource. Some responses may take longer either because of my decision on whether to include a resource or not, and it may also be because I am not sure whether or not to include a given resource. I also may delay in reviewing resources if I am simply tired or honestly forget to review resources offered to me for review. So please be patient.Also, if you suggest me a resource, make sure it does not contain any suspiscious content or anything that leads to spam, hacks, viruses, or anything like that. I refuse to make mention to any resources that may lead to any issues of cybersecurity. The last thing I would want is for people to go to an innocuous site that ends of eventually spamming others. So make sure your suggested resource is clean or mostly clean.
CONSIDERATION: It is not really serious, but I would recommend that you share with me sites you either own or are associated with. Do not just randomly promote some random website you aren't affiliated with or own to try to get me to add it to "Helpful Resources."

Personal Message
Ever since starting this Page a long time ago, I am very thankful to have received so many different requests for certain resources to be shown here. It makes me so happy that I have built an online resource people are using and suggesting more content to. Just knowing that people are suggesting their own relevant content to my various roundup of resources makes me happy. Not only am I doing this because I want to provide something positive and useful for a change, I am also doing this so that I know visitors of my content can benefit from quality material online who most need any sort of assistance or guidance online. The content can be casual or from licensed professionals. Regardless- we all can use all the help we can get in today's mad society.
We must keep working to provide quality material for those who most need the help. To everyone who suggests quality websites and resources to help continue providing helpful resoruces for those who need help the most, thank you very much! Remember to contact me with your own resources if they can be of help to visitors of "John's Life Space."
