From: Media Relations December 19, 2000HARRISONBURG – A bartender learns that one of his patrons is thinking about ending it all. A customer tells her hairdresser that she's so depressed she barely feels like getting out of bed. What more can these professionals do than just listen? If psychology Professor Lennis G. Echterling and two of his James Madison University graduate students have their way, bartenders, hairstylists, ministers and anyone else who might act as a conduit to connect troubled souls with area mental-health professionals can now do so. Echterling and counseling psychology graduate assistants Stephanie Hostetler and Tara Jensen have compiled a comprehensive, 39-page guide identifying Harrisonburg and Rockingham County mental health-care providers and self-help organizations such as Alcoholics Anonymous. The recently completed "2000 Directory of Mental Health Services" includes phone numbers, Web sites, e-mail addresses and office hours, along with meeting times and places. The directory can be obtained free of charge by calling (540) 568-6522. Want more information? Contact Echterling at (540) 568-6522 or [echterlg@jmu.edu]. Note: JMU will be closed Dec. 22 through Jan. 2. # # #Writer: Bill Gentry, University Relations |
