Each individual and family who has been affected by mental illness has learned something that may benefit someone else. You have a unique experience that may help and/or inspire another. Whether your experience is derived from parenting a child who lives with a mental health diagnosis or you are a youth living with a diagnosis this is where you can share YOUR story.

By sharing your story you share hope, information, and strength to millions of families, children, and youth.

Share Your Story Etiquette:
The Idaho Federation of Families 'Share Your Story' mission is to unite our families and youth throughout the state. When we unite and share our stories, we'll help others learn from similar mental health experiences and show families and youth that they are not alone.

When submitting a story, please refrain from using/doing the following:

• Names of specific doctors, treatment centers/clinics, or products.
• Promotion of brand names of pharmaceutical products (unless you are talking about drugs you used during your own treatment)
• Profanity that might upset or offend someone.
• Nudity that might be perceived as inappropriate or offensive.
• Uploading, posting, emailing, transmitting or otherwise making available any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.
