I'm not saying that I have full expertise when I make this group on facebook but I make a group that I'd like to share. I hope it doesn't clash with this site as I know it partially deals with the same issue(s). On facebook the group is called "Andy's Mental Illness Awareness Group".
For 2 descriptions I've got these 2 captions: Code:
This group was created to help people who have mental illness. Coming myself from a world with mental illness (bipolar disorder), I know what it's like being a part of the mental health "system". If you too have a mental illness come and share... Code:
This group is for people who have mental illness to help them express their feelings and to help spread awareness about mental illness (such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, etc.). I'm hoping the group does well. It's open to the public (which may tie in as a bad thing I know; for now I see how it plays out), but I wanted you guys to be the first to know about it. Thanks for taking the time to read about my new "creation" and reading my post... Andy.... |

I am not sure this is a good idea. No offense, but employers can go through your facebook and the groups you are member of are visible to everybody (unless there is some setting I am not aware of).
In the past employers and others had used to info found on facebook against the person. I know you meant well, but please be aware that some people might misuse the information shared on there. And no, I am not being paranoid... |

A good reminder! Social networking is fun and can keep us in touch with our friends and family, but it also can be opened -- often unintentionally -- to others who might not be so positively inclined toward us, our groups or causes. Just something to keep in mind...

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