This is my first time hearing about PEERS', I picked up a flyer at an office Downtown Oakland. I just finished watching the PEERS' video, and I am encouraged. Thanks!
Hi Kennon we are glad you are encouraged and learning more about PEERS. Feel to free to check out our calendar for upcoming programs at PEERS that you can become involved with.
I wish I had found out about Peers years ago. The isolation I felt when I thought I was the only one feeling the overwhelming burden of being 'different' kept me housebound for years. Blessings on all you people who spread the word and advocate for those of us who can't. Maggie
Thank you Maggie for your touching comment and support. Feedback such as yours energize us to keep advocating for consumers. Thank you again!
Hi Khatera and Lisa, thank you for your courage, passion, and leadership that are the backbones of PEERS message of hope, recovery, and social inclusion.
Thank you to everyone for investing your time, energy and personal stories to move our culture toward - as your introduction says - "nothing about us without us." Excuse me if I misquoted. My best wishes in this amazing endeavor.
Thank you to all for your energy, strength and personal stories. I especially appreciate the introduction line to the video "nothing about us without us". (Excuse me if I misquoted). Your P.E.E.R.S. organization could be a national model. During my life I have been hospitalized (before the word "institutionalized") became the jargon used to define us. Keep up your great, inspiring work.
Thanks so much for your kind words and support, Elaine!
