“Dialogue for Recovery” Video Shows
The Many Faces of Hope and Healing
A new short documentary produced by Mental Health
America's “Dialogue for Recovery” program and
Horizons TV, Inc. features the real—and powerful—accounts
of four people with serious mental illnesses who are in
recovery.
All the stories on the 20-minute DVD share one essential
message: that recovery is possible. This versatile resource is
designed specifically for use in local and national outreach to
mental health consumers, their family and friends, and to the
general public.
Dialogue for Recovery is a Mental Health America initiative
aimed at enhancing communication between doctors and
patients about treatment goals, medication side-effects and
other quality-of-life issues that affect the recovery of people
diagnosed with serious mental illnesses.
Made possible through a grant from the Shelby Cullom Davis
Foundation, the new video is available free of charge from
Mental Health America while supplies last. Contact campaign@
mentalhealthamerica.net to reserve your copy or for
more information.
Excerpts from the video...
I think what I really want to say is, recovery is a process.
And it doesn't have to happen right away...
You can reach for the stars and hope for a great
future, and keep that hope alive.
—Sabrina
It’s important to know that...you can find promise and
productivity in your life, and I hope in the end that
each of us can find peace.
—Barbara |
