Hello,
While I was browsing through a number of health related websites, I came across Psyched Catholic and was very impressed by the information and resources that you have listed.
I’m part of the Outreach Program at Consumer Dangers. We are dedicated to keeping the public informed about consumer dangers and safety issues associated with numerous products that can cause the public serious harm. Our website is continuously updated with breaking news from Government agencies, Watchdog Groups, and concerned citizens regarding product recalls and drug (medication) safety.
I’m thrilled to see you already have drug and consumer danger resources here at http://www.psychedcatholic.com/resources/psychology-mental-health-links. Over 1.3 million people are injured and nearly 100,000 people die each year due to medication errors. Our team at consumerdangers.com strives to provide a comprehensive free resource for the public to learn more about defective drugs and medical devices that can potentially cause harm and even death. We would love to be an additional support resource for your visitors. Do you mind including our educational resource as well?

Although they do some wonderful work for mentally ill people, the National Alliance on Mental Illness supports human embryonic stem cell research which is against Church teaching. If you use their website to find information, I suggest that you don’t make any monetary donations to the organization or become a member, because the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated that contributing to charities that promote such an immoral act as embryonic stem cell research, one would be cooperating immorally in an act of evil.
I am adding a comment to my previous one. From the research that I have conducted, it does not appear that the National Alliance on Mental Illness directly funds research on human embryonic stem cells. I will continue to try to see if that is the case. I do know that they signed a letter to Congress several years ago, along with 514 other charities and organizations, urging that embryonic stem cell research be made available to medical research organizations. I do not know if they have done any further lobbying. I will keep you posted about any additional information.
After conducting further research, I found that the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) actively promotes human embryonic stem cell research. In a letter dated April 3, 2105, Mary Gilberti, Executive Director of NAMI, asked Congress to allocate 32 billion dollars to the National Institute of Heath and also appropriations to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Both federal institutions fund human embryonic stem cell research which is against Church teaching, as I stated in my first comment. There is also a direct link to the National Institute of Mental Health for participation in a clinical trial for bipolar disorder. On the Catholic Partnership for Disability, along with the resources for parishes, NAMI Faithnet is listed which is a link to NAMI’s website.
