I don't collect awards anymore, so this page is mostly historical. I have updated the thank yous at the end, though.
Um, okay. Seriously, this page has received a few awards of which I am extremely proud. The first came in mid96, completely out of the blue. It was a three-star award from Mental Health Net.
In mid-97, I received notification from The Mining Company and NetPsych that my SI page had been named a NetPsych Cutting Edge Site (in addition to the honor, I was amused by the title).
Most recently, on 16 September 1997, I was notified that this site has made it through the exhaustive rating and voting procedure of the Web Psychological Club with a mean rating of 4.5/5.0. The letter I received states, "Please accept our congratulations, and thanks for your wonderful contribution to the psychological community!!!"
Thanks to the people who've been supportive and loving and kept me sane during the growth of this page and the increasing responsibilities I've undertaken with the list and IRC channel: Alan, who kept me alive in Chicago, literally and figuratively; Soren, who was gentle and funny and kind when I was at some of the my worst points; the counselor at the Lutheran Compass Center homeless shelter who came out to me about her past SI when I was living there and who pushed me to *do* something; Ruth, whose patience with me in DBT was boundless; Molly, who helped me fix the rest of the broken places; all of the people who over the years have helped with the list and the board and the channel, because this community could never have grown without you; my Seattle friends; Chris, because he loves me.
