The content in the above pages was originally created by Lucrezia Lamont and friends and distrubuted in a set of notecards entitled "Luneko New Resident Resource Kit." Sadly, Lucrezia is no longer in Second Life. The notecards were last updated in mid-2007, but the information is still surprisingly good. We will continue to keep these pages up to date.

Here are some links to other help pages for new residents:

Depression and Suicide Help

Do you feel qualified to counsel someone who is depressed and may be considering suicide? I don't either. Here is some information that may help you refer a resident to a group that can help them. The first three links are articles that appeared in The SL Enquirer.

• • Crisis Intervention Manual - Piedmont Rape Crisis Center

• Depression In Second Life Part 2 - Interview with Lanai Jarrico

• Depression and Suicide in SL Part 3 - Avoid the Final Solution To A Temporary Problem - Interview with Krissy Sinclair

From the first article, here are some Second Life groups that may be of assistance to a resident suffering from depression.
