I am a student at the University of Minnesota, I am working to create an online environment for students to connect to other students to learn about mental health disorders. Any suggestions for how I can include your work?

@ThatMentalHealthGuy That is a good question. If you post links to it that is one way to do it. Another way is to post these videos in answer to questions on Ask.com. I will think more about and if I come up with something else I will let you know.

Great, thank you for the suggestion. I am meeting with some of the administration for the committee on student mental health and am compiling my video database as well as making my online learning community. Do you have any ideas for what you could add/create to help students connect with mental health resources?
