3-C Family Services may be a new face on Twitter, but we certainly hope to someday have others look at us as information leaders when it comes to mental health.
We know that the following Twitter accounts have already achieved that status. At 3-C, we find ourselves checking out what they are sharing about mental health in our Twitter feed on a daily basis. You can also get some great information by checking out the hashtag #mentalhealth while logged in.
So enjoy our list of what we consider to be the top five mental health Twitter accounts (OK it is really six!), in no particular order, and feel free to add some additional folks in the comments. We hope to interact with you soon!
