Greetings, Everyone
For this discussion, I chose Mental Illness as my topic.
While locating resources and exploring the google search engine
on the internet. I was able to explore sites providing many
subject matters relating to Mental Illness programs. Several
examples, there are different types of Mental illness in different
states; they have Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities,
Adult Mental Health Divisions, Mental Health resources online,
and local Mental Health resources near me; also, Substance
abuse and Mental Health. Numerous numbers of resources,
programs, and all types of information about Mental Illness I
typed in the query of the google search engine.
As I was able to locate the information on my subject, I
went to treatment centers, counseling, family matters, family
genetics, how to understand mental illness, and other clinical
services that are available. The North Carolina Division of
Health and Human Services has extensive programs, services,
and how to qualify for state disability for having a mental
illness. This information identified the types of mental
illnesses, how this condition affects the person's mind,
emotional stability, and active daily living. You have helping
professionals who work with mental illness patients and or
clients who document their counseling sessions or helping
professionals who observe patients in house centers or hospitals

3. Google, my search of “Health and Human Services and
programs dealing with alcoholism” returned thousands of results
that can be utilized by those affected by the disease. It was
comprised of websites, articles, and handbooks. The website I
reviewed was titled “Resources for Alcoholism Treatment
Recovery Programs-Alcohol.org”. I like this site because it is
designed to meet the needs of individuals suffering from and/or
affected by alcoholism. It contained three subtitles with a total
of 18 headings that each included a link that displayed
organizations and programs. The links provided information and
resources such as Medicaid that can cover some levels of
alcohol abuse, chatrooms, organizations like the Salvation Army
that focus on parents struggling with substance abuse (Monico,
2019), and institutions who offer counseling, support groups,
and treatment. Some of the links provided information and
resources that catered to individual needs, such as age groups,
gender, and treatment available in specific locations. I chose to
further evaluate one of the headings named the “National
Institutes of Health” which allowed me to search the site for
information and resources related to alcoholism. Additionally,
this site afforded me the opportunity to conduct new research on
various other topics relating to one’s health and wellbeing. My
research on this topic has revealed that these websites are keen
on disseminating invaluable information for anyone whose goal
is sobriety or to improve their quality of life overall.

4. EXAMPLE OF RESPONSE:
Hi Rosie,
You chose an interesting topic that I rarely hear about since I
don’t know of anyone who has or is dealing with a gambling
issue. Nonetheless, it’s research and care towards the addiction
is equally important. When a Health and Human Service
Professional is given a problem to solve, we must first find the
cause of the problem, such as a potential mental illness as you
discussed. Your post is uncovered many resources that are
available for gambling and mental illness if that is an
underlying issue. In my opinion, people are more inclined to
seek help when they have made the personal decision to do so. I
think this applies to many of the issues that individuals are
trying to overcome. What are your thoughts?
