Mental Health Awareness Month Campaign
May is regarded as the Mental Health awareness month. I would like to create as much awareness as possible on this subject. Last week, I spoke about my journey at the DBSA Cedar-Senai, North Hollywood for a self help depression and bipolar group. I had a blast! to say the least. Self help groups are really here to stay. I then attended the mental health care festival at SHARE, Culver city to support people struggling with illnesses. I am so glad Los Angeles is very welcoming to the community. I then had a thought of creating some buzz in the virtual world. Therefore, here's presenting drumrolls please Mental Health Awareness Campaign.
This is how it goes - I feature 30 expert guest blogger (pro-bono) to share their expertise and experience on mental health on my personal website. I post one new blog a day in honor of this month. We have readers around the world and over 700 followers on twitter struggling with mental illnesses. They could really use your help. There are a lot of health bloggers on Steemit and It would be a great way to spread awareness. Also, am sure we can all learn from each other and create some buzz for the May Month. In addition, I would also be willing to guest blog for your website as a token of appreciation. Kindly let me know if you would like to work out some synergies on this. Have an inspiring month fam! 
Hello @hearyourmind. Although not an expert in mental health I have been a sufferer in the past and believe that mental health issues need to come out of the shadows and be talked about. I applaud what you are doing with this initiative. I have done a couple of posts on my battle with depression here and here plus some others about autism and mental health in general.
If there is any way I can contribute please let me know.
Hello @maninayton, I have been a regular follower of your blogs and appreciate the information that you post to educate others. It would be great if you can provide me a post on your depression battles. Also in the end, could you write a short bio of yourself and a website/social media info for our readers to further connect with you. Could you please mail me at [email protected]. Look forward to reading your blog :)

My personal passion is speaking our against childhood sexual abuse. The statistics of people with mental health problems who have been harmed is undeniable. It effects 1inFive children and ripples like a pandemic through our society. Breaking the silence is crucial to transitioning from victim to survivor. https://steemit.com/life/@girlbeforemirror/why-i-pledged-to-run-almost-300kms-for-a-man-i-had-never-met-who-had-accused-a-man-i-had-loved-all-my-life-of-the-most-heinous
