Mental Health Care - Yonkers, New York, United States
Mental Health Affairs aims to bring readers the most critical and rigorous analytical commentary on the status of all things mental health: re-appropriated!The blog operates as a piece of observational journalism. The result is a patchwork of didactic instruction, part-memory, history, and archival footage.Far too many stories and firsthand accounts of recovery are terminal and end with a cure or picturesque life for the consumer of services or "sick" person. These recovery narratives are different. They are stories about struggle, ongoing collateral pushback from friends, and internalized self-doubt.Mental Health Affairs evolved from a recommendation that writing needs to be cross-pollinated with peer and clinical research elements. This blog was an experiment in many ways. When creating this site, I was charged with the task of marrying two worlds while producing a cogent product that spoke to both consumers and practitioners alike. It is taboo for people in recovery to admit that when there is no cure, the only thing left to do is never stop fighting for life.Mental Health Affairs highlights the result of never surrendering to mental illness and never giving up.Hopefully, the implications will warn the reader in vivid terms to keep close to healing, even if a full cure is impossible.
