Please join us as the amazing Donna Burgess shares her personal story of mental illness in her son and family through the harsh years of onset, the struggle of acceptance and the “new normal” of recovery. Through her experience, strength and hope you are invited to a new awareness and understanding of mental illness and the urgent need to erase stigma and misunderstanding. Your presence, interest and concern are a sign of healing and hope to those who live with mental illness and those who love and care for them.
