From Lily: I'm a social worker currently assigned to a non-profit organization in Alabama. After work hours, I’m a parent of two who are both at preschool. I just wanted to send a quick thank you for providing all the great resources on your resource page. The Internet contains a huge amount of information that is sometimes challenging to comprehend & follow, but your resources make it easier for me, as a parent, to know what links are worth reading. To show my gratitude, I wanted to share with you a resource I bookmarked recently. It is entitled 'Inclusive Play: How To Design Accessible Playgrounds For Kids '. https://willygoat.com/blogs/resource-center/design-accessible-playgrounds-for-kids

I truly believe it could be a valuable addition to your already impressive list of resources, especially with AI being a rapidly growing trend. And your readers might also find it helpful."

https://www.mesotheliomahope.com/asbestos/recycling/ At Mesothelioma Hope, we are on the forefront of bringing awareness to the deadly mineral, asbestos. Asbestos products can still be found in buildings, ships, and vehicles even today. Asbestos can be recycled but it must be removed by professionals that are properly trained to dispose of it. If these products are not recycled or disposed of, those nearby can be exposed to dangerous asbestos fibers. Our mission is to educate communities about exposure to this cancer-causing substance and asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma. We offer resources to organizations about how to identify asbestos, dispose of it and recycle it to prevent any further risk to those who come into contact with it. – submitted by Kaitlyn

An online resource for victims suffering from asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma: https://asbestos.net/asbestos/recycling

Asbestos is a dangerous mineral that was extensively used in house construction up until several decades ago. Obviously, having asbestos in your home is something that no homeowner wants to deal with, but many of us have to. That's why we made a guide about what homeowners need to know with asbestos and the removal process. Check it out: Asbestos and Removal Guide - https://lanierlawfirm.com/mesothelioma/asbestos-exposure/abatement

Asbestos is a highly cancer-causing group of minerals. The mineral was used in thousands of consumer products during the 1930’s through the 1980’s to build homes and buildings across the country. Today, asbestos is still found in many structures including; air duct coverings, window panels, door gaskets, floor and walls around wood-burning stoves, gutters, hot water pipes, steam pipes, insulation, pipes, popcorn ceilings, roofing, shingles, vinyl floor tiles, water tanks, and more. Mesothelioma is cancer caused by asbestos, and it kills 2,000-3,000 people every year and many of them are exposed at home or work. For these reasons, mesotheliomahub.com wants to educate as many people as possible about the dangers of asbestos.

As a token of appreciation, here are two beekeeping resources I bookmarked during the course of my reading.

• Beekeeping Therapy for Seniors and Veterans
• Beekeeping 101: The Ultimate Beginners' Guide

Facing a mesothelioma diagnosis is undoubtedly challenging, but it's important to recognize that you are not alone. There are emerging and effective treatment options for mesothelioma that can enhance a patient's life expectancy and overall quality of life. We recently made a new guide about seniors and mesothelioma for this reason. A ton of work was put into it. Check it out here: Mesothelioma & Seniors - gorilaw.com/mesothelioma-in-seniors

My name is Chris, and I'm a grateful recovering addict (19+ years). I’m also one of the founders of the new website, AddictionHelp.com. Addiction Help is one of the only educational websites founded by a recovering addict, an addict's spouse, and a board-certified addiction doctor. Over 100,000 Americans have died of a drug overdose during the pandemic, and so we created this website with a clear mission - we want to save lives.

Poor indoor air quality can contribute to allergies, respiratory issues, fatigue, and general discomfort. The good news is that modern cooling systems now do more than control temperature. They can also play a key role in improving the air we breathe. To support this, we’ve created a practical guide on how to optimise indoor air quality and create a healthier home. hotandcoldshop.com.au/indoor-air-quality-cooling-systems

Selecting the right nursing home is a crucial decision that significantly impacts the quality of life and care that seniors receive. A well-chosen facility provides not only essential medical care but also emotional support and a safe environment, all of which are key to maintaining their health and happiness. To assist those navigating this critical transition, we’ve developed a comprehensive guide that outlines the important factors to consider:

I am the Outreach Director for an advocacy center called Nursing Homes Abuse. Our mission is to be a complete resource center on abuse in nursing homes and to offer any help possible. We have added a ton of information on different types of abuse along with other resources and we will be updating it weekly. Check out our website below and feel free to explore: Nursing Homes Abuse - nursinghomesabuse.org/nursing-home-abuse/

I’m reaching out on behalf of a national safety project to raise awareness about accredited substance abuse rehab. Could you kindly add our resource, RehabNet (https://rehabnet.com), to your links page? At RehabNet, we’re here to make finding reliable, compassionate information about addiction and recovery easier for everyone. Whether you’re facing substance use challenges yourself or supporting someone who is, you deserve clear, trustworthy guidance. – Linsdey

My name is Brian, and I’ve spent years as a firefighter and paramedic. During that time, I’ve seen the devastating toll that mental health and substance use struggles can take on individuals, families, and communities. I’ve also seen too many lives lost that could have been saved with the right support. I’ve made it my life’s purpose to help people find the support and understanding they deserve. Through this work, I’m focused on connecting families with trustworthy information, breaking down stigma, and making it easier for anyone struggling to take that first step toward hope and healing. We’d be so grateful if you could include a link to our website as well. Even a small gesture like that can make a real difference for people who are struggling and looking for hope. https://markbehavioral.com/

I just want to take a minute to reach out, my name is Maria, and I help coordinate an environmental education program for local youth in our community. This summer, we're focusing on a project all about composting and teaching the kids why composting is important for the environment and how it can help support healthier gardens and ecosystems. It's been so inspiring seeing them take such an active interest in sustainability!

While gathering materials and lesson ideas, I came across this page: www.brightsphere.com/bright-links ...and it was such a wonderful find. The kids and I learned a lot from the resources compiled there and now the group is even planning to start their own home gardens using compost they make themselves with the help of their parents.

As a small thank you, the kids and I wanted to share another fun educational page they discovered: "Turning Coffee Waste Into Eco-Friendly Innovations" It's a great article that talks about environmentally friendly uses for coffee waste and encourages eco-friendly gardening projects that are perfect for families and classrooms.

We thought it might make a great addition to the bright links page for those interested in practical sustainability projects. If you think it's a good fit, please let me know I'd love to share the news with our group. They'd be so proud to know their discovery is helping others learn about composting and waste reduction :)

Thank you, Maria

Many people with hearing loss drive safely every day. However, good safety planning for those who are deaf or hard of hearing can be very helpful for everyone on the road. We created a guide that goes in depth on all of this, and more! Check it out here: 1800law1010.com/driving-with-hearing-loss. I think this resource would be a great addition for your site visitors to see and would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you so much for your time! – Mark

From Susan: Placing your loved one in a facility is never an easy decision, even when it’s the best choice for everyone involved. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is widespread, making it essential to know what to do if you suspect abuse or neglect. We put together a guide to help inform people. I think this resource would be a great addition for your readers to see. Check it out here:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has one of the richest and most diverse histories in the federal government. Although only in existence since 1977, the Department traces its lineage to the Manhattan Project effort to develop the atomic bomb during World War II and to the various energy-related programs that previously had been dispersed throughout various federal agencies.
