Hello!
I was on a SAMHSA conference call with you and I have been meaning to get in touch with a few ideas for outreach that I had.
VOCAL (which is the peer-run state advocacy in VA) sends out a weekly digest to over 1200 people. If you would like to send in a blurb for this e-digest, contact yolande@vocalvirginia.org
Also, I'm not sure if you know about ReelAbilities, the film festival, but here is a link: http://www.reelabilities.org/
Ken Rosnethal did a pretty great job or marketing his movie, Crooked Beauty. Here is his site: http://www.crookedbeauty.com/
You may get a few ideas from looking at that.
Best Wishes to you,
Malaina
Thanks, Malaina! We will definitely look at those links. Thanks so much for the support and ideas. We truly appreciate it!
