Yesterday evening, in a fit of sappy appreciation, I praised the Internet and mental health advocates.
In light of that, I’m going to pass along some news about eLearners.com, which is operated by EducationDynamics, LLC.

Last Thursday, Chato B. Stewart rocked our funny bones with his mental health humor. This Thursday, Ken Jensen puts us through psychiatric boot camp with his system for surviving bipolar disorder.
As if my nauseatingly incessant play on words didn’t give it away, 39-year-old Ken Jensen is a former soldier – not just any soldier, but […]
