Dakota Foundation Highlights for 2023
In the year 2023, the Dakota Foundation has made significant strides in its mission to raise awareness and provide support for individuals and families affected by Bi-Polar mood disorder. The Foundation’s reach has expanded dramatically, with its social media presence growing to over 10,000 followers across platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. This broad digital footprint has allowed the Foundation to connect with a diverse audience, fostering a community of support and understanding.
In addition to its social media outreach, the Foundation maintains a robust weekly mailing list, which boasts over 900 subscribers. These updates serve as a vital resource, providing news, insights, and updates on the Foundation’s work and the broader landscape of Bi-Polar mood disorder research and treatment. This initiative plays a crucial role in raising awareness about the disorder and the Foundation’s efforts.
One of the key services provided by the Foundation is funding for family counselling. Recognizing that Bi-Polar mood disorder affects not only the individual diagnosed but also their loved ones, the Foundation has committed to helping families navigate this challenging journey. The counselling services funded by the Foundation equip families with the knowledge and tools they need to understand the disorder and support their family member.
In a bid to promote early detection, the Foundation also supplies educational material to School District 23. Early detection is critical in managing Bi-Polar mood disorder, and by providing these resources, the Foundation is helping to equip the next generation with the knowledge they need to identify and understand the disorder.
The Foundation operates under the belief that Bi-Polar mood disorder is a ‘family problem.’ This philosophy underscores the importance of a collective approach to managing the disorder, emphasizing that support and understanding from loved ones are crucial components of effective treatment.
The success of the Dakota Foundation would not have been possible without the support of its followers and donors. Their contributions have been instrumental in enabling the Foundation to carry out its mission and make a meaningful impact in the lives of those affected by Bi-Polar mood disorder. The Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to all those who have helped it achieve its goals.
