Charidy started a "I have a therapist." campaign on Tumblr.
According to Charidy's Tumblr account:
Charidy is a startup based in Brooklyn, New York. We are a fundraising platform for non-profits. But we’re more than that. We want to make our site, our marketing, and our whole identity revolve around doing good for the world, in which fundraising is an integral part of a larger whole. And that’s why we’re doing this campaign (among others that will be launching soon). We strongly believe in this cause and believe that by putting our hearts into it, we can really change the world.Charidy's page is here.

This is an interesting use of social media.
I have been reblogging some of these post from the Ethics and Psychology Tumblr page.
