A guide to directories of available help

Helpseeker.net is a unique way to find already available information that is provided by governmental agencies, community health providers, charities, and so on – but which is unfortunately fragmented and spread around at a range of different locations on the web.

The novel contribution from our web resource is that we present directories of available help  in your area – all in one place. 

Start here

Search by problem area

Our directory has the following searchable categories of problems:

Seach by type of service

In addition, our directory has the following searchable categories of service types:

1. Treatment / therapy – includes listings that point to collections such as NHS, Rethink Mental Illness, and a lot more
2. Online therapy – includes listings that points to collections of available online therapy providers
3. Support / self-help groups – includes listings of a variety of support offers and self-help groups

Completely free – driven by a non-profit organization – acclaimed

Best of all, the web portal is completely free for users and service providers. The website is drifted by the non-profit charity company, Hjelp til Hjelp AS, which has nearly ten years of expertise from drifting the similar web portal www.hjelptilhjelp.no. This site is acclaimed in Norway, where it is presented by the national health authority’s official website as a tool for how to find help for mental health problems (see reference here).

Contribute with your knowledge!

Although the resource already presents an extensive collection of available help in your area, we are grateful for all tips that complement the listings for your particular area.
