Helpguide’s mission is to help you understand, prevent, and resolve many of life’s challenges. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and support you need to take charge of your life and make healthy choices. Helpguide was launched in 1999, following the suicide of Robert and Jeanne Segal’s daughter, Morgan. We believe that Morgan’s tragedy could have been avoided if she had access to well-written professional information that gave her a sense of hope and direction. Helpguide provides free online resources that are motivating, balanced, and ad-free—easy to look at, easy to understand, and focused on information you can use to help yourself.

The CARS (creating accessible resources for staff) project ran from January 2003 to December 2005 and was funded by the Higher Education Funding Council (HEFCE) for England as part of a major programme for improving disability provision.

This website, Making your teaching inclusive, was developed by the CARS project to support teaching staff in higher education institutions in England and Wales in understanding the needs of disabled students and teaching them effectively – thereby contributing significantly to an acknowledged high priority need in national disability provision.
