Hi. While it would be better to do these as individual topic posts and spend more time on each, I am in the process of recovering from Covid, and staying within my healthy limits on effort.
Developmental delays or/and disabilities.

Brandon Spots His Sign. By Sheletta Brundidge, Lily Coyle, Darcy Bell-Myers (Illustrator)
This book is not free, and I’m not sharing it for any political reason (see story behind it here: https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/17...-news-cec/index.html) I read the sample of the book on Kindle, and while it's not a therapy book (at least as far as what I was able to read/read about it), those pages could be used in a therapeutic way, so sharing for those it can help.

Virtual Calming Room website from Sacramento City Unified School District, that has tools and strategies for students, families, and staff; which obviously can be used by others. https://calmingroom.scusd.edu/
SELF-HELP PLUS (SH+) A GROUP-BASED STRESS MANAGEMENT COURSE FOR ADULTS. Released September 2021, World Health Organization (WHO)
5-session stress management course for large groups of up to 30 people. It is delivered by supervised, non-specialist facilitators who complete a short training course and use pre-recorded audio and an illustrated guide to teach stress management skills. The course is suitable for adults who experiences stress, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances. It has been shown to reduce psychological distress and prevent the onset of mental disorders. The format of SH+ makes it well-suited for use alongside other mental health interventions, as a first step in a stepped care programme, or as a community intervention delivered alongside broader community programming. https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240035119
Mental Health Apps and Privacy
How to protect your privacy while using mental health apps. July 18,2022 NPR. https://www.npr.org/2022/07/18...-tips-online-therapy
Top Mental Health and Prayer Apps Fail Spectacularly at Privacy, Security. May 2, 2022 Mozilla. https://foundation.mozilla.org...at-privacy-security/
Two notes about the guide linked in it (based on a quick review):
- It’s a little confusing and takes reading through.
- It appears to be being ongoingly updated, e.g., Sesame Street was updated June 9th, after updating their privacy policy and addressing Mozilla’s security concerns. (Going back to the prior note, while they updated the narrative part with that info, they didn’t update their rating.)
