Kristin Bell's Video Blog: January 2008 Archives

Kristin Bell who we discovered on YouTube last month has joined our team as a video reporter and video blogger. We enjoyed her positive and clear communication in the video blogs that she's done in the past, and so we thought it would be great if she could apply those skills to helping us. Kristin is doing well in controlling her schizophrenia and taking medications, getting therapy and getting a lot of family support - all of which are helping her in coping with the disorder. These are the approaches that all the researchers we've talked to have said are good ways to manage schizophrenia so as to maximize recovery. Kristin will be focused on helping us find new videos on the Internet that are highly educational and related to schizophrenia (as well as finding positive video blogs from other people who have schizophrenia), and will also be doing a weekly video blog herself. Kristin is happy to get your emails with questions or comments - you can email her at the following email address: schizhelper@gmail.com Please let her know what you'd like to see covered in her video reporting.
