Would you recommend The Balanced Mind Foundation?

by Ryan R. (June 5, 2009)
Hey everyone! This is Ryan. About a year and a half ago I went on this site to find somewhere to volunteer and I found CABF. They are a caring non-profit organization devoted 100% to their mission of helping families, children, and young men and women deal with Bipolar Disorder. As of right now, I continue to volunteer for them and I am presently a co-host for the podcast, Flipswitch! The work is never monotonous, and they are extremely flexible. Not only that, I have gained great insight on many things surrounding non-profit organizations and mental health treatment and care. I would definitely recommend volunteering at CABF to anyone!
