This website is about helping the American citizens get assistance that they need by putting the information on their website that will guide them in getting help. After reviewing the materials on how to analyze a web page, I realized there is much more to the website than what most people see on the surface. According to Widner University and Wolfram Memorial Library, there are four ways to properly analyze a website to make sure that the information that you are getting is legitimate and credible. The first one is checking the Authority of the website. This means that the website should have it clearly posted the person or persons who are responsible for the information that is posted on the website. There should be a name of the person or group and/or some kind of contact information for that person. On the website that I chose, there isn’t a name of a person, but there is contact information including the name of the business as well as the address, fax, and phone numbers. The copyright of the website is also clearly stated at the bottom of the page. The second thing that they talked about was accuracy.

The fact of the matter is, there were not enough mental health individuals to help people who were reaching out for help, until this company came into play. The Suicide Prevention resource Center offers different programs and interventions for people who feel they have suicidal thoughts and the people who work there will do anything in their power to avoid any suicides. The locations are only in Massachusetts and Washington DC, however there are phones there for anyone who feels the need to call and speak to someone. Sometimes clients like this better because you can not see the person on the other end of the phone call and clients feel as if they are not judged as easily. As another site says right on the top of their page, “Time heals all wounds is not necessarily true for survivors of suicide. Time is necessary for healing, but time is not enough. Shared feelings enrich and lead to growth and healing.” (Anonymous, 2001) This site really tries to get the people who are looking at it for a reason, the help they need. It completely...

The abundance of technological advances can assist in removing these barriers. This paper will cover a discussion regarding three barriers to services, planning, funding, or empowerment in a specific aspect of human services.
