Twitter chat for World IBD Day

To mark World IBD Day, talkhealth will be teaming up with @JanssenEMEA to host our latest Tweet Chat, on Friday May 18th between 1PM and 2PM. We’ll be putting questions out to the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) community to raise awareness and help others to understand what it’s like to live with the condition.

Be sure to use the hashtag #TalkIBD to follow the conversation on the day. If you’d like to find out more about IBD, Janssen has created a series of animated videos in collaboration with the European Federation of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (EFCCA). These videos follow three characters living with IBD and their journey through life, take a look at the videos below:

We hope you get involved in the Tweet Chat; make sure to follow @talkhealth and @JanssenEMEA to get the full conversation as it happens! If you want to get involved with the Tweet Chat, drop us an email: info@talkhealthpartnership.com.

#TalkSchizophrenia Tweet Chat

On 10th October 2017, talkhealth and Janssen collaborated to run a tweet chat for World Mental Health Day focusing on Schizophrenia. Using the hashtag, #TalkSchizophrenia and #WMHD17.  Talkhealth, Janssen, members of the talkhealth community and other interested parties including MIND Herefordshire took part in a stimulating discussion of the stigmas of schizophrenia and mental health.

 

It is clear that many  do not know much about schizophrenia and this is one of the main reasons why people do not understand the illness. People who suffer with schizophrenia have to deal with misconceptions all the time.  Our aim was to find out why and how such issues around schizophrenia and the challenges mental health sufferers may face could be better helped.

We were delighted with the amount of participation and interest generated from the Tweet Chat.  Interestingly we trended in Belgium and reached over 45,000 people with our tweets during the chat and the build up to it. Over 60 tweets were exchanged during the course of the chat, including invaluable engagement from both bloggers, health care professionals and specialists in mental health. We hope to reach more for future Tweet Chats.

For those that took part in the chat, we would like to say a big thank you for your involvement. If you missed the #TalkSchizophrenia Tweet Chat, don’t worry – you can read the conversation by looking at our Storify of the chat – which contains highlights from the day including informative advice from twitter followers and Janssen.
