New
Web Site
Persons
seeking guidance on mental health and counseling, elder care and healthy aging
can now find help through a web site developed by the Rotary Club of Santa
Monica and the Center for Healthy Aging.
The
web site (www.Helpguide.org) provides information on a wide range of topics as
well as lists of agencies in Santa Monica and the Westside of Los -Angeles
that can help with particular problems.
Among
the key features of Helpguide are an extensive topic index and a system, which
allows users to delve ever deeper into a specific topic. It also includes
links to related web sites.
Robert
Segal, a Santa Monica real estate executive and Monika White, president and CEO
of the Center, are co-chair of the Healthguide project. Both are members of the
Rotary Club of Santa Monica which is the driving force behind the web site.
Helpguide,
which was developed with major support from the California Community Foundation,
covers the broad categories of Mental and Emotional Problems/Disorders, Alcohol,
Drugs and Tobacco, Alzheimer’s/Dementia, Caring for the Elderly and Lifestyles
for Healthy Aging.
