This month, I will be hosting the first Blog Carnival of Mental Health. The theme for this month’s carnival will be diagnosis. Interpret it broadly. When were you diagnosed with a mental illness? What is your diagnosis? What do you want to change about your diagnosis, if anything? If you are a mental health professional, how do you diagnose clients? What is the most stigmatized diagnosis, in your opinion? The list of possibilities is almost endless. The deadline for submissions will be November 27. I will post the carnival on November 30. Submit posts in a comment on this post.
Also, I am still looking for hosts for the Blog Carnival of Mental Health. Slots are open from February, 2011 onwards. If you want to host, you can leave a comment here, too. Please let me know where you blog and what month you would like to host. For clarity’s sake, LiveJournal and Dreamwidth blogs are welcome to submit posts as well as to host.
I’d be glad to take any free month. I see from MN you’ve got a few sorted already, but I’ll take any free one if that’s OK
I’d also like to write for this, if I can! I can submit a post on diagnosis.
Pandora, would you like to take June, 2011?
Yep, June is great. Thanks!
How do I submit something?
@ K: you can post a comment here.
I’d be happy to host a month too on my blog. And I will try submit something on diagnosis too.
@ Cassie: You can host in July, 2011 or later if you want.
July 2011 is fine
Me being a bit dense about these things, do you want us to post the whole post on diagnosis here as a comment, or to email you the post, or to post it on our own blog and give you details of the link?
@ TheShrink: you can post the post at your own blog and provide the link in a comment here.
Question: can I submit a post from my Tumblr? It’s my main blogging platform and I use it for many serious posts.
Yes, you can submit a Tumblr post.
