Thanks for visiting. This site is intended to be an asset to people who need information quickly. It will direct you to the type of support group you might be looking for, let you add your group if you want, and hopefully continue to expand as a general source of information.

Since this site was just posted recently, there is no news yet. Stay tuned.

Webmaster... you can contact me any time via email.

About all the javascripting... it might make the page a bit slower to load, but it was just too fun to play with to resist. :-) ----NOTE: Somebody please let me know what this looks like in NS5 and IE5 ---- Thanks...
btw, you can take a peak at the old kcrc format here

Thanks to Janet Northcott for helping me get the idea started. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.

If you would like to add your support group, self-help group, or other affiliation, just email the webmaster (Matt) and place "Add Group" in the subject line. Tell me a little about when and where your group meets, etc. Use the other groups' info as a guideline.
Thank you.

Now you can subscribe to The Mood Monitor for $5.00/month. It is a not-for-profit newsletter. Details will follow soon.

Kansas City Resource is a grouping of support groups, non-profit organizations, and other resources which may be of help during a time of crisis, or if you just need some information.

In any case, I hope you will find something you can use here.

This site was created because I felt there was a use in the KC area for a single source of information concerning such issues as listed on this main page.
So, whether it's a matter of needing a support group, or if you need info on some government programs, or if you need info on how to get a friend into a safe place... hopefully KCRC can provide that for you.
The Links are still under construction, but here are just a couple to get things started..
The National DMDA is a site with a lot of info on bipolar and unipolar issues.

You might also want to visit Health Center for information on medications. Updates to come soon.
Thank you.
