I would like to suggest we create a teen focused forum. "Support for teens with mood disorders" "Teen Focused Support" something along those lines.

A mom joined yesterday who's 12 year old was just diagnosed with a mood disorder NOS bi polarity. She was looking for a teen section and we don't have one.

I pointed her to the care givers section and bi polar section but I think having a forum specifically for teens is a good idea.

I agree with this, but just like the teen chats it's a place we need to make sure we have strong moderation for their safety.

After I posted this two other people suggested other forums. In one of those threads DocJohn said he would consider "these", so I assume that meant this one too.

Cool. Thank you. Obviously since I am 50 it is not for me but it gives us a place to point people.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
