The Purpose of the Mental Health Recovery Website

Written by Mary Ellen Copeland, M.S., M.A.

1. educate people about recovery and the self help tools and strategies they can use to relieve psychiatric symptoms, or that they can share with others;
2. acquaint them with the Wellness Recovery Action Plan which can be used by people with any kind of illness or issue;
3. to empower people to take back control of their own lives;
4. expand people's thinking about mental health care and treatment;
5. reduce stigma against people who experience psychiatric symptoms;
6. introduce you to self-help books and the other related resources;
7. share stories of hope and recovery;
8. and inform people of up-coming workshops and trainings.

I hope you get a lot from my site. I'm glad you came by.
