ARS-MHRCS Website launched!


I am excited about launching my new website for Academic Research Solutions.  Each day I am seeing the need for information services in a variety of specialties because people need to know where to go to get the assistance they need. I am an advocate for individuals who are experiencing domestic violence or contemplating suicide. These individuals, and so many others, often feel hopeless because they lack the resources that will help them make informed decisions.  There is hope for the hopeless and I want to provide them with the information they need and point them in the right direction since I am not licensed to provide them with the treatment they need.  Sometimes they just need a supportive ear because they are uncomfortable with the formalities of speaking to a licensed professional.  I advocate the support of a licensed professional because my ultimate goal is to obtain my license however I want to let people know that I understand the hesitation and provide them with options.

Well, I invite everyone to view my website at www.ars-mhrcs.com and look at what I have to offer. I will be adding additional services catered to helping members of the community. 

Enjoy!

Mental Health Research and Consultation Service

It's a brand new season in my life as I explore the option of utilizing the skills and talents I developed in a entrepreneurial way.  The dream for Academic Research Solutions is for it to grow to provide a variety of services to students, professionals, and the general public. The first phase of the business promotion was to establish it as a service towards students however due to the constructive feedback that I have received, I am venturing out to begin the next phase which is to provide mental health research and consultation services.  

I initially was going to wait before I started this phase because of my desire to primarily focus on writing my dissertation however I heard a message at church a few weeks ago that inspired me to move forward.  The message was that we often sit on our gifts, talents, and skills not allowing for it to flourish and as result they lie dormant, not producing any real beneficial results.  There are many intelligent, gifted, and talented individuals who become stagnant in their personal and professional growth. Many of these individuals fail to reach their full potential.  I have always been a person who never wanted to sing the "should have, could have, would have" blues so I am choosing to step out in faith that I am equipped to accomplish great things.  With that mindset, I already see that I am evolving personally and professionally.

The new service that I am adding to Academic Research Solutions is to provide mental health research and consultation services to mental health professionals and their consumers.  I know that academic research can be time-consuming for professionals as they attempt to meet the demands of treating their patients, writing their patient notes, attending continuing education classes, teaching, and potentially writing journal articles or books. The potential clients of these mental health providers are consumers who will also need information relevant to any question or concern they may have about mental health issues, treatments, and/or therapies.  

In the very near future, I will be writing articles and will blog about these issues. It is exciting to see how this will all evolve and progress!
