How do we educate society about mental illness (Part 2)…

The picture is clear. We as a society can no longer hide from these numbers. 55% of all salary insurance claims are directly related to mental health and one in 5 people will be affected by mental illness in their lifetime. At this rate it won't take long before everyone is directly exposed to mental illness in the workplace and in their private lives.
Major social and cultural change that we are all trying to generate is one of the reasons that I am so very proud of Mike and all the work he does in trying to educate others about mental illness. I myself am very lucky to be a part of this revolution or known better as the "RECOVERY MOVEMENT". I assure you that I speak about mental illness every time it is appropriate.
To all I ask: HOW DOES ONE EAT AN ELEPHANT?
Answer: ONE BITE AT A TIME.
To all I ask: HOW DO WE EDUCATE SOCIETY ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS?
Answer: ONE PERSON AT A TIME.
To all involved in this revolution or "RECOVERY MOVEMENT", keep up the great work. It is all for a great cause.
To all, have a great day and keep well.
