Winter Fundraiser

As I did last October, I am asking you all to make a financial contribution to support my work here. Last October readers contributed about $2,400 to this site and several of you helped cover my butt in December when Google basically stole about $600 the company owed me for text ads on this site (if you're fairly new to this site, the Google back story is here--it's a doozy). I was humbled by the support in both instances.

This time out, I don't have a specific dollar goal. I'll just trust those of you who are so moved to contribute what you can and we'll go from there. The more money that comes in, of course, the less outside work I need to do and the more time I can devote to mental health issues. I can assure you there's so much news on that front that it even surprises me. Ever since the CATIE study of 2005 and the Zyprexa scandal of 2006, it's been a flood of news around mental health care--and not just in the US either. What's going on in the States is largely echoed in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. And it sure needs to be documented, and that's what I am trying to do.

There's a PayPal button on the right. Or if you prefer snail mail, shoot me an email and I'll give you a mailing address.

Here's a little something I wrote considering the lack, or slim pickings of mental health news in the Seattle area.

For any local readers to this blog, I encourage hitting the PayPal button to ensure this remains a place you can depend on for mental health coverage, and guess what? it's authored by a local award winning journalist who used to work at the Seattle Weekly, in case you didn't know.
