[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 115631, member: 3626"] I would make it less personal, more along the lines of DDD's response. From the questions they're asking, it sounds like they want to know how you plan to "spread the word." I doubt they have much interest in any groups you've belonged to (run, yes; participated in, no). The fact that you're BiPolar (BP) would probably only be of mild interest except to let them know you have some personal knowledge and interest in NAMI, so worth mentioning but not emphasizing. Since you used to be a social worker (if I remember correctly), it could be worthwhile to bring this into the picture, especially as ways to distribute pamphlets. Something to the effect, "With my experience as a social worker, I can think of many areas where information put into pamphlets would be useful such as in Departments of Mental Health and Social Services offices, foster parents' and adoptive parents' workshops and the like." Maybe you could even consider running a few workshops after NAMI? Definitely mention the website you're planning but say it is "in the beginning stages" rather than just a vague idea, the leaflets or pamphlets that would be created and distributed (and how you would distribute them) and this site. Talk to your therapist which way she thinks it is best to go -- on a personal information level or more generic. And that's it my two cents (not that two cents is worth a lot in today's world).
