Mental Health Writer/Advocate: our mental health past doesn't define our future

Why I joined Mental Health Professionals for Good
Hi hi! I'm Susan! I am in California. I got inspired to advocate for those with mental illness because I have been where they have been and know there's a future with it. I've gone through treatment programs, group homes, medication, and attended therapy/therapy groups. I live with bipolar disorder and try and manage it the best I can. One thing I didn't hear enough in recovery was that I could live with bipolar disorder successfully. I want to spread that message because it is so easy to feel like everything is shattered because of a diagnosis. I'm here to learn about non-profits/organizations that are doing great work in the mental health sector. Can't wait to collaborate with other like minded individuals.
