Resoures For Pediatric Bipolar Disorder
The Child and Adolescence Bipolar Foundation
Mental Health and Social Media: My vision for this chat is to bring the entire mental health community on Twitter together so that we can raise awareness, end stigma and continue our education process together. This means professionals in the field, activists, advocates, and those who struggle with mental health issues themselves are all welcome and part of this effort. We are all working towards the same goal, better health, and together we can create something very special.
