Dear all,
I thought this might be of interest to others too, as it seems a really excellent idea. Hidden disability exists for so many reasons and in many different ways, it would be great to have a way of indicating that when needed.
Kind regards,
Kristin

What a great idea.
So easy to see the benefits to a system like this. It would be wonderful to get to a day where everyone with MI feels the associated stigma is so diminished that the pros of wearing a symbol that alerts strangers to their invisible disability outweighs the cons.
