The information on this Web site is presented for educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for informed medical advice or training. Do not use this information to diagnose or treat a mental health problem without consulting a qualified health or mental health care provider.

This Web site provides links to other sites not owned or controlled by OLESEM that we think might be useful or of interest to you. The Web has an abundance of sites with information on wellness and mental health issues. Some sites are informative and based on good authority, others are merely entertaining. While we have been careful to research each site in hopes of providing you credible and accurate information, OLESEM does not endorse or guarantee references or a site listed and is not responsible for the content or privacy practices used by other site owners.

However, none of these sites is a satisfactory substitute for professional help. When people face serious personal problems that defy easy solutions, it usually is time to seek the services of qualified professionals. With that limitation in mind, the following Web sites may be of interest:

• National Association for Community Mediation
  A site containing general information about mediation and links to community mediation centers.
• Community Relations Service
  A Department of Justice Web site devoted to assisting to resolve community conflicts and tensions arising from differences of race, color, and national origin.
• Southern Poverty Law Center
