They don’t judge them, don’t tell them what to do. They listen. That may not sound much - but it can make the difference between life and death. People who feel suicidal are often so focused on a particular problem or pain that they find it difficult to see a way forward. Talking openly to a befriender, in a safe and confidential environment, can help. By listening to a suicidal person, a befriender helps them to listen to themselves.

The Wellness Shop (an online service of Ultrasis) was launched in Nov 2006 and provides computerized CBT programs for a range of health and wellbeing topics: depression, anxiety, insomnia, stress and pregnancy. The computerised CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) programs sold by the Wellness Shop are designed to be interactive in that the programs guide users through similar principles as a therapist would. In fact, all the products were designed by expert and/or practising psychologists. The interactive programs adapt to the unique circumstances of each user, help them learn techniques to modify their thinking, and can be used at a pace defined by the user. Computerised CBT is seen to have a number of advantages...

Consisting of 20 professionally written case studies covering counselling microskills, counselling therapies, family counselling, grief and loss counselling and stress issues in counselling, the e-book should provide some interesting content for peer discussion. The e-book is free and can be downloaded here.

They produce books, card sets, stickers, non-competitive games, dolls, puppets, play-therapy ideas, gift, stationery and novelty items for use by teachers, therapists, social workers etc. Michelle Clark from Wise Beyond Words contacted me recently asking that I feature her site as she is the US reseller for the materials produced by Innovative Resources. I would love to see the materials more obviously featured on Michelle’s site, but it is useful that US professionals have a distributor. In fact, something which I did not feature in the original Innovative Resources page was a link to international retailers and resellers information. Here it is for those customers currently residing in USA, UK, Ca...

Interestingly, psychological services (i.e., counselling, therapy, coaching etc) are well-represented on these sites suggesting out industry is embracing this technology. In this profile, I have selected a few of the sites that I have encountered along the way to help give readers an introduction to how these online consulting programs work. If you have even the vaguest interest in commercializing your knowledge online, you might find it useful to explore these services. Lets move through them clockwise.

Their product line includes programs for anger management, substance abuse and autism, with more products in the pipeline. In addition to the e-learning programs, s4 provide training in a cognitive- behavioural group program on anger management called CALM (available, I am guessing to people in Ontario, Canada where s4 is located). Visitors to the site can view a range of demos of the different ways that s4 have combined e-learning with CBT. At the helm of s4Potential are Dr Bill Winogron (clinical psychologist) and Mr Peter Egan (organization, sales and technology marketing). s4Potential has already formed a number of strategic partnerships...

Time2Track is the creation of Jason Anderson and Jonathan Denman, under their parent company of JD3 Solutions L.L.C. The development of Time2Track was inspired by Jason and Jonathan’s experiences as doctoral-level psychology students. Specifically they saw the challenges faced by students applying for internship and students spending weeks writing essays and searching for clinical hours that they did not record or could not recall. Time2Track’s clinical recording tools are the result. There are two products (Time2Track “Doctoral” and Time2Track “M...

The products sold on Innovative Resources address a wide range of psychological and mental health topics from a strengths-based, solution-focused philosophy. Miranda (the public relations coordinator) informed me that the site has grown from around 1000 visits per month in late 2004 to over 15,000 visits per month in March 2007.

Blog editor Pedro requested that I feature his site to increase awareness of AIPC services and promote their regular eZine (which you can sign-up to on the blog page). According to Pedro, the eZine has over 10,000 readers internationally (a few more than psychsplash - lol). The only perceivable downside to the eZine is the semi-regular advertising you receive for AIPC courses, however the main eZine issue is informative, detailed and varied in its content.
