Your Good Health Matters

MySpace is a popular web site among young people. The New York City Health Department has launched a MySpace page  called NYC Teen Mindspace, directed to teens who need help with depression, drugs and violence. The department notes that many teens are hesitant to seek help when they have issues. Teens can send confidential messages to a mental health counselor to get referrals for treatment. Seems like a positive way for teens to use the Internet, especially if they feel like they cannot talk to anyone about the things they are going through.
