I wish the Harvard Mental Health Letter were longer than just 8 pages. The subscription is very pricey compared to other sources of information, such as magazines and the like. One thing I do like, though, is that the sources used for the article are clearly shown. I've looked up several of the sources just to learn some more about the topic discussed. Thanks! DRD, Royal Oak, Michigan
I feel more educated each time I read an article from the Harvard Mental Health Letter. I feel very fortunate to be able to have access to so many wonderful researched articles. When reading an article from Harvard, I feel as if I were pursuing my doctorate studies at Harvard without leaving my house. It is a wonderful feeling. Juliette McNulty, Bilingual School Psychologist
