As a mental health professional with 20+ years experience, now retired, I can say you have a lot of very good answers to your question here in the previous answers. I know I've helped a lot of people with very real issues in life, and so whether you get a degree in some counseling/psychological/psychiatric field, or you simply stay here on Answers and give strong consideration to peoples' questions before you answer them, or whether you develop your own website, or get trained on a volunteer "help line", or work with a church of your choice, I'm sure you'll get to fill your want to help people. Do remember one thing, though. The issues you may be faced with in their lives are sometimes going to be very strong/stark realities, and even though you've lived through a lot in your life, I can assure you that you haven't lived through all you're going to be brought face-to-face with as a counselor, so, some training might be advisable, whether it be in college for a degree of some kind, or some training in a volunteer "help" line, which is exactly where I got started on my career. Of course, I then pursued an extensive college education. You'll be a wonderful asset to the world, I'm sure. God Bless you.

social worker, guidence councelor, therapist, rehab.

Do it here. Simple notes do make a change.

Get a degree in psychology.
Then obtain your Masters.
Then obtain your Doctorate.
Then help others.

become a counselor.

Start your own blog or website discussing various topics that interest you. If your site is worth visiting and you can get a lot of hits then get sponsered advertisement on your site. They will pay you alittle bit of cash for hits from your visitors. Over time and with alot of traffic you can make a good amount of money.

maybe just place poster around telling people about it

sure.

you want to help people and then come on here and ask for help?!

good luck with that...

I suggest that you consider a career in psychology. I want to do exactly what you want to do, thus why I'm on Yahoo! Answers. I've never heard of any online programs though, sorry.

be a thyrapist...
hey i am actually looking for a thyrapist...
haha

You could be a motivational speaker. To be a counselor you have to have a degree. You may be able to work at a local crisis shelter without any education in that department. I know ours has a lot of people that base their opinions and concerns on their own past experiences.

you can become a type of social worker but that takes a degree or two. but that would probably be the best option in my opinion

well one thing u could do is form a website to help people with there problems....kind of like an ask shirleytype thing but i think you should try opening up a place just to talk to people with problems as a councelor or another very good job would be a councelor at a school its a great way to help young kids

Get off "Questions," and get on "Answers."
Stay out of Religion, polls, politics, and sex, and you will do
fine.
And don't answer any "personal questions" about yourself. To
much "idenity theft" going on. <}:-})

You have not stated your age....so my advice would be to stay on here because a lot of people are going through a lot of crap and they need some nice answers as opposed to jerks. If you are in high school I would say to pick psychology classes (I loved those classes) -- and maybe go into that field. Thing is.....once you find out what a lot of other people have gone through, you will realize then that your own problems weren't as bad as you thought....trust me - we lost our home and I've gone through breast cancer and my oldest is a heroin addict and my mom, dad and brother are all deceased......BUT I'm not complaining as I've learned to bounce with the ball. I only told you HALF of my story. There were also suicides, etc. to deal with too. EVERYONE has problems and not everyone knows how to cope -- you may be able to help them. But be ready for the worst of the worst.

Consider getting a degree in Psychology so you can get into counseling.

Or if you want something more short-term, volunteer for a non-profit organization that interests you, or start an online forum/mailing list where you can share issues & solutions with other people.

I would suggest you get better in touch with yourself and what you can realisticly offer. You have gone through some tough times, but tough for who? Everyone deals with problems on a daily basis, you are not unique, it is how you cope with life that might enable you to help others. Your lack of real life experience is showing, as is your spelling and repetition. If you are truly sincere, then I would say get some higher education and real life experience. What I considered as Priceless at 20 was nothing but Fool's Gold when I hit 40.

wow! how very noble of you:-) start small and help out the people you personally know by being a good listener and then discuss with them your similar situation and how you handled it. let them know you'll be there to help support them during their difficult times. in the mean time, get into school and discover what tools you'll need to become a great humanitarian. remember, "think globally, act locally."
