Neurodivergent Insights
Dr Megan Neff is a neurodivergent Clinical Psychologist that writes about neurodivergence and mental health, and has really helpful information about different diagnoses, how they overlap and intersect. I've recently bought a copy of her Autistic Burnout Workbook and Self-care for Autistic People, and will be using these in my therapeutic work with clients.

Centre for Clinical Interventions
They have produced a number of workbooks and information sheets about a range of different mental health topics that can be used alongside psychological therapy or independently as self-help material. They're all available for free and tend to come from a cognitive behavioural perspective.
