In the Media: "90210" Partners with The Balanced Mind Foundation to Help Teens, Parents
Early in 2009, The Norman Lear Center contacted The Balanced Mind Foundation on behalf of the CW network. The teen hit, 90210 planned to weave bipolar disorder into several upcoming episodes. As Erin Silver headed into crisis, and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, the network knew that the confusion and helplessness of Erin, her parents, and peers would resonate with the teens at home. Many viewers would have questions and be in need of help. The Balanced Mind Foundation’s teen site, www.depressedteens.com/, was the CW network’s website of choice to send teens to for more information and support.
