Read My Story is proud to present our first series of writings based on hope and recovery. These stories (from real people) are presented in cooperation with the Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas.The stories are taken from a book produced by the association, The Story is Me, and are reprinted here with permission from CMHK.
From the introduction:
In the coming weeks, I will be posting the stories here on the site. Check back every few days for a new look into the healing power of writing. You can check out the first post in our series, Elizabeth's Story, by following this link."The good news about mental illness is that recovery is possible. Mental illness is estimated to affect one in five individuals in our country. They are neighbors, your co-workers, your family members, and friends. These are true stories, as written by the storyteller."
"One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another is to listen to each other's stories."-Rebecca Falls
