How mental health sufferers are being helped by new social networking group Elefriends
Could social media help support those suffering from mental illness? According to the charity Mind the problem is particularly bad in rural areas where isolation prevents many speaking about their problems and seeking help. In response, the mental health group has created its own social network called Elefriends to allow users to connect and share experiences. To explain more about the role of technology in treating mental illness Sue was joined by Aimee Gee from Mind.
