AMIGOS
IS...
We want your
experience with Amigos to be a happy and productive one. Amigos is a starting
point for your informational needs. Amigos is dynamic and ever-changing
in response to you, the users. For this reason, we encourage you to send
in your ideas, comments, and opinions which will then be used to direct
our future development.
AMIGOS
IS NOT...
Although Amigos
has been created in conjunction with a professional psychologist/counselor,
Amigos is not intended to provide treatment of any kind. Amigos is experimental
in nature. It is not intended to substitute for the kind of relationships
offered in counseling. But, instead, to provide you with information which
may prompt you to look for new sources of additional help. The use of
a website for information is not correlated with any traditional service
or counseling. Amigos is not meant to replace face to face counseling
or treatment.
If you want
to connect with other people online, we have created a short list of places
where other students and teachers can be found called "Keypals, Chats,
and links to the Online Community." We believe that Amigos is a place
where you can express yourself and listen to others who are facing the
same struggles and challenges. We, at Amigos, hope that you will find
this website supportive, educational, informational, and uplifting.
