The description of the session is here.
Raul (@hummingbird604) did a live blog of the session. Thanks, Raul!
The overwhelming feedback, during and after the session, face-to-face and digitally, was that the conversation needs to be continued. Currently, we are tossing around the idea of a MentalHealthCamp. Stay tuned - or even better, suggest, help organize, etc. Contact @moritherapy or @hummingbird604 on Twitter.
UPDATE Feb 22, 2009 (1:15pm) Raul (@hummingbird604) created a placeholder post (read here) to propose a one-day Mental Health Camp. Raul proposes that Mental Health Camp have the specific objective of beginning a conversation about how blogging can help de-stigmatize mental illness (as a follow up to the panel organized by Airdrie and where Tod, Airdrie and Isabella presented).
In the meantime, feel free to continue the discussion digitally on Isabella's blog. Isabella is thinking about writing specific blog posts about specific issues - any suggestions, let her know!
Here are also Airdrie's blog and Todd's
