Many people involved in altruistic projects have found they have similar needs when it comes to mental health support. You might be looking for 

• Resources about handling distress about catastrophic risks or other large-scale problems

• Providers who understand your concern as valid, not irrational anxiety

• Providers who are good at working with analytical people

 

Some providers and coaches on the tables specialize in working with people in the effective altruism community; you can find them by filtering by "Effective altruists" under "Populations they specialize in." There are pros and cons to seeing someone active in the same community as you, and you may wish to find a provider who's recommended by others but not involved in the community.

 

We do not provide screening of providers and coaches listed, or of information in reviews. We're just providing a place where community members can point each other to providers to consider. Please use your judgment when selecting someone to work with! It's normal and recommended to change providers if you don't feel there's a good fit.
 

MentNav, our sister site, offers a library of general mental health resources.
