Thank you for the resources, Howie! Could I include your Bay Area list in a global EA mental health resource list?

Alternatively, would you be interested in expanding the existing list to global EA-recommended mental health practitioners? Or collaborating to create a separate global list?

Hi Danica, Hmm. I'd like to be helpful but also want to be sensitive to the privacy of people who gave me info to add to my list (and don't have the ability to go back and check with everyone who contributed). I'm happy to have you link to my list and list the names of the practitioners on there. I feel a little funny about taking the descriptions/commentary and adding it to a second list. do you think that would be sufficient? This sounds like a great project and I'd love to help but I unfortunately don't have the time. Good luck!

We distributed the survey via FB groups, the EA newsletter, and individual EA groups. We asked leaders from EA groups around the globe to distribute the survey to members. Although we attempted to reach as many people as possible, it's likely that people who are interested in mental health would be more inclined to complete a mental health survey.

Yes, the validity of geographic spread is limited by the fact that respondents are volunteers. Even so, I believe it will be informative to see if and how access to resources varies in the subset of people the survey reaches. If there are significant differences based on country, for example, that could inform resource distribution in a potential intervention. Of course, it would be important to follow up to confirm that the differences present in the results are representative of the larger population.
