Mental Health on Social Media

As most of us use social media it may be useful knowing some of the mental health services that use Facebook and Twitter. I have these on mine and I find them useful and interesting. There are many more but these are the ones I use or have previously used. 

If I've missed your favourite please post it in the comments so we can check them out. Also please tell me if a link doesn't work - sometimes I really am a noob.

As you can probably tell from the numbers, I use social media, especially twitter, a lot for quick information. I've written a previous post with links to some amazing bloggers who write about mental health. Of course there are more out there and I think every single one is excellent for helping break down the mental health barriers and stigmas.
