Try this forum:
St. Dymphna’s Well: A Catholic site for discussing mental illness and mental health
freewebs.com/dymphnaswell/index.htm

Perhaps the webmaster at National Catholic Partnership on Disability knows of another resource: ncpd.org/

I hope these articles help, too:

Have you ever heard of Conrad Baars? His daughter has been on EWTN and I really appreciate his work. There is a discussion forum called Caring and Sharing based on his work, but I don’t remember the address. Its been quite awhile since I have visited that site.

Dr. Baars focused on Emotional Depravation disorder, I really found his books interesting and of a great help.

www.conradbaars.com At this website there is a link to discussion groups.

I had a look at all of these. St. Dymphma’s Well looks okay, but not all that active. Looks like the groups from the Dr. Baars site are more geared toward psychological “life issues” than actual mental illness, if you know what I mean. Thanks so much for taking the time to post them, though. The articles were really good; and I am glad to have come across them.

Would you happen to know of any good devotions for the seriously mentally ill?

Well, St. Dymphma is the patron Saint of the mentally ill.
