Resources — The Pursuit Counseling
Resources

A few places to turn, beyond us.

Crisis lines, support organizations, and a few things worth reading — curated because they're genuinely good, not just because they're on a list.

If you're in crisis right now: you don't have to wait. Reach out immediately — these are free, confidential, and available right now.

The Interactive Toolkit

A few small tools, worth a minute each.

Not homework. Just a few minutes to notice something you might not have noticed on your own.

01 — The Curiosity Question
Tap "Reveal a question" to begin.

A fresh question, any time you're ready for one.

02 — Name It Precisely

Further than "fine." Closer to true.

"Fine," "stressed," and "off" are $1 words — honest, but vague. Getting more precise is often the first real step toward understanding it.

04 — The $1 / $100 Question Flip

Not why. How.

Tap "Flip it" to see a $1 question, then flip again for the $100 one underneath.
