Episode 45: Everyday Advocacy
Apr 27th, 2009 by depressedteens
On this show, we talk more about advocacy. You can change the world, whether you realize it or not. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. The wall of stigma comes down through tiny cracks put in it by individuals just like you. To drive home that point, we talk to a teen that produces videos about depression and bipolar disorder for Youtube, Claire. You can find Claire’s excellent series of videos on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/depressionfree. Claire deals with her own mood disorders issues and is fed up with all the stigma surrounding the issue, so she did something about it. She develops videos and has engaged her school with the idea of bringing a seminar on the topic to the student body. Regardless of whether that part of it occurs or not, Claire has shown that, having few resources, one can still be a force for positive change in the world. Listen and think up ways you too can advocate for raising awareness about mood disorders!
