I think it's wonderful that more and more people are coming forward to fight stigma. I recently learned about the program "In Our Own Voice" through NAMI. This educational program allows people who have struggled with mental illness to be seen as courageous and confident individuals. Please read the following description of the program to learn more! I only hope that my work can make the same impact.

Chris,
ReplyDeleteThat is WONDERFUL. I wish that someday my brother may want to participate in this important program. I think it could help in his recovery.
Zeitgeist!
ReplyDeleteHello Amber,
ReplyDeleteI showed the Gaining Insight piece you did a while back to my support group and they really enjoyed it. I showed the first 25 minutes of the DVD and stopped and discussed it. It was an eyeopener for all of them especially the stats about HIV and diabetes. I thought it was educational and motivating. Thank you.

You are welcome Ashley,
ReplyDeleteWhen I am done with the second edition, which will be more personal (with real stories), I will be sure to send you a copy! I want the final version to be more inspiring and positive about recovery!!
