Crisis Text Line serves anyone, in any type of crisis, providing access to free, 24/7 support and information via a medium people already use and trust: text. 1) Text PCOS to 741741 from anywhere in the United States or UK, 24/7. We will text about whatever is a crisis to you - addiction, anxiety, assault, bullying, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicide. 2) The Crisis Counselor listens without judgment, invites you to share more, and helps you move from a hot moment to a cool calm. You’ll text back and forth, sharing only what you feel comfortable. 3) After 2 automated responses, you'll connect with a live, trained volunteer Crisis Counselor who receives the text on their computer. 4) The goal of the conversation is help you find calm. That may mean sharing resources for you to check out for more help; sometimes it means listening. 5) It usually takes less than 5 minutes to connect you with a Crisis Counselor, maybe longer during busy times. 6) Conversations usually end when you and the Crisis Counselor feel comfortable that you’re in a “cool,” safe place, after 15 - 45 minutes.

After extensive research and evaluation, PCOS Awareness Association has selected Expertscape as its preferred resource for finding physicians and other medical expertise in PCOS. Expertscape uses the National Institute of Health’s PubMed database to identify those individuals and institutions that are conducting research, publishing papers, and conducting clinical trials around PCOS and thousands of other medical conditions. We particularly like that the site is completely objective and unbiased, current, covers the world, and is free and easy to use. To visit the site, simply click here or on the logo. You’ll be taken directly to the PCOS experts page, where you can then drill down on your specific geography or on individual experts or institutions. From there, you can easily learn more about specific publications and access contact information. And we encourage you to contact them at mail@expertscape.com if you have specific feedback on the site or simply want to share your experiences.
