However, we would like to have more still, perhaps on these topics:

  • Depression
  • Addiction
  • Family members with mental illness
  • Medications

Here are examples of types of proposals we will give preference to:

  • Speakers who discuss their direct experience with mental illness
  • Proposals that give examples of how social media can be useful for people experiencing or recovering from mental illness
  • Proposals that promise to tell a good story
  • Proposals that ask deep/interesting/useful questions
  • Proposals with high audience involvement
  • Proposals that suggest novel solutions
  • Proposals that are a direct reply to the topics posted on Isabella’s blog when this all started

Proposals that are primarily self-help “how to’s” (e.g. how to use yoga to help with depression) or are mostly aimed at showcasing someone’s expertise will have a smaller chance of being selected.

Deadline for proposals is 12 pm Pacific Daylight Time, April 8.
