PWDF is a recognized leader with specific expertise advocating for issues related to psychiatric and developmental disabilities.  One of our goals is to provide education and advocacy information to those who would benefit from PWDF’s knowledge and expertise. Social media allows a unique, easy, and free access point to a host of our materials, research, and connections to other resources from partner organizations.

PWDF features content on our website, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages. PWDF also actively curates a YouTube channel. We encourage our followers and constituents to check out all of our venues for the latest postings, and vast back catalog of resources available.

PWDF hopes to expand the reach of our education and advocacy work through connections made through social media.  During late 2015 through early 2016, PWDF received assistance from the NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service Capstone Program with developing our social media outreach strategies.

PWDF and friends with the NYU Capstone team.
