Personal stories are a powerful way to inform people e.g. our
neighbours, co-workers, family, and friends, about what it is
really like to live with a mental illness. Your story would help
to educate our community, bust some myths and misconceptions, and
let people get to know what it’s like to have an illness, and how
to love and support someone with an illness. Please share your
story by submitting it in writing or discussing with us another
format. With your permission, with or without your name, we’d like
to post it on our web site and use it as part of our community
outreach and education.
Contact us and
take the first step toward helping us tell the real story. Some
real life stories have happier endings than others, but all can
teach us something.
