In this video, people with psychiatric disabilities gather to share their practical knowledge and experience, and help each other take steps toward recovery. They candidly discuss real-life stresses - finding housing, navigating the mental health system, returning to work.
Two peer-educators groups are shown: Recovery Workbook Group helps people with a psychiatric condition develop practical skills needed to rebuild their lives, and Double Trouble in Recovery Group helps people dealing with alcohol or drug addiction as well as a mental illness. (25 minutes) "I depended on the mental health system. So I had to learn to make it work for me, and I am trying my best to teach others what I learned." Moe Armstrong, Co-Founder Peer Educators Project |
