From Mania to Recovery: Insights for the Professional

Please join us as one woman shares her personal story of navigating the difficulties of living with Bipolar Disorder.  Gain insight into this debilitating disease and what it means to be a person living with a mental illness as she shares the good, the bad and the ugly including her struggle with denial, medication side effects, stigma, making amends and coming to terms with the diagnosis and necessary lifestyle changes.  Hear her message of hope that one can live successfully if they can become pro-active in their own recovery.
