Hello all, my name is Aidan I have bipolar one rapid cycling with psychotic features, adhd, gad, and some events trigger ptsd. 

But im not here to tell you my story, I am here to hear yours.

In a few months here I have had the honor to be a front on the fight for mental health, I was invited by my work associate in the mental health field to attend Crisis Intervention Training… and now I have been picked to give a 1 hour long presentation, on not only bipolar disorder and how it works, but also on how law enforcement and medical professionals can react to help us better.

I have had my run ins with the cops and the ER staff, I had been in the psych ward 4 times by age 21. I get it. 

I want to hear your voice on what you think would make any experiences you had with law enforcement or medical staff better.

What are things they did that helped you

What could they have done to make the situation easier

Things like that. 

I will be presenting a more consensus of answers at C.I.T rather than individual stories, but I want them to know what to do, I want to truly educate them.
