Mental Health Awareness - 2014



The mask of manic depressive illness changes the many faces that it touches. You only wish that you could just take it off and dispose of its ugly insides but it always rises to the surface. The struggle becomes hard but it becomes a fight for your very life so you choose to go through the fire, rise from the ashes, and conquer the storm.

Out of Touch Within Reach is the first book to share Lisa's journey along opposite polar endings.  The book will focus on three elements, the problem, the conflict, and the solution. The first three chapters of the book tell about the slow but steady crumble of the mind and body as a toll is taken on the author though her life experiences and life threatening behavior.

The stigma of mental illness can be stamped out by becoming more aware and educated about the paths you can take to get help by finding the doctor and counseling you need! Everyday Matters so let’s raise awareness, and reach out to someone in need.


Out of Touch Within Reach has received raving reviews for its ability to capture and teach the very essence of survival through the maze of mental illness and create avenues to solve the puzzle.


Please use this book to educate and inform others!  It helped me to read a book that involved someone going through the same things that I went through, to learn from their experiences and challenges, conquer my own, and change the lives of others.
As an Advocate for Mental Health Awareness I would be very excited to speak to social workers, students, community outreach programs, anyone willing to listen, and share my journey, let them know where to find mental health resources, and keep mental health the spotlight for 2014 and beyond!.

EXCHAEXCHANGE




Out of Touch Within Reach  . . . .On The Road

I spoke to a college class this month about mental health. It was an awesome experience!  It was totally God lead and he gave me the gift of grace and peace to share my story and answer questions that I know will help others and, maybe someone in the class that needs help.  Where ever you go, you can be sure that God has sent you there for a reason.
I have since spoken to the teacher of the class and she again, thanked me for sharing my story and told me that it has generated a lot of discussion.  That is exactly what I wanted to happen, to get people talking and getting educated about what they can do to get help themselves or help someone else.
I found my purpose and plan to continue to share my experiences with others to keep mental health awareness at the for front of the minds of many so we can help those that are in the dark about these illnesses and are afraid to shed light on this subject due to the stigma that is placed on them.
We must advocate for those things that we believe in and tell our story to others so they can listen, hear, and understand, and have the ability to make good decisions, change their minds and the minds of others and save lives.
