This latest Healthcare IT News article really speaks to me...
Oh, if I were a young mom again, I could see my friends and I connecting on Facebook just as we did with our play dates. And, this would have carried through to today during the teen years. But, we didn't really have Facebook 16 years ago.
However, I am connected with family and close friends on Facebook now and do share some of my healthy children and families blog posts with them. I've also posted health information targeted at the many young people that I'm connected with in the hopes that they will watch the video or read the information.
Mom's are probably still the go to person in the family for health issues and the young ones (and most importantly their friends, too) are on Facebook. It is a great tool for them to form groups and to support one another. And, perhaps, learn from those who have gone done the path before.
