I was speaking to a SQL Community member, Dale Hirt, a few months back and came up with the idea of putting up a mental health resource page on my blog and well I procrasinated. Then today I started and got the idea to host on GitHub instead so others could add things they find valuable. More to come this is just my first stab so stay posted.
Now if pull requests seem like to much of a hassle for something small I don't mind if you just DM me on Twitter. But I do ask if you are adding a lot to do a pull request.
I ask if you are going to contribute to this list to if it something that doesn't fall under something a community member has contribute you describe it's value.
