- People with psychiatric disabilities are routinely treated with respect and consideration;
Our Commitment

Our Audiences
People with psychiatric disabilities need
to know they are not alone and that others with the same diagnosis have
recovered their hopes and their lives. They need to know that they can
recover their identity as people.
Mental health professionals need to learn more about the options available to them in helping people with psychiatric disabilities -what's possible and what works. They need to develop the empathy that only comes from more contact with their clients as people.
