As I was browsing through the DBSA’s eUpdate for August, I noticed the Real Recovery Podcast, At Home with Wellness: Families & Recovery, which is supposed to offer a sneak peek at the DBSA’s upcoming “Power of Peers” National Conference.
I’m not attending the conference (aside from the fact that it’s all the way in Norfolk, […]
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is currently conducting an online survey to help prepare their report, Grading the States 2009, as well as help NAMI better understand “how well states are providing publicly funded mental health services.”
The survey, which will be available from now until September 30, 2008, is completely confidential and open […]
I don’t know who originally talked about “the calm before a storm,” but in my 26 years of existence, I’ve found it to be all too true.
Aside from the depressing news about the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince release date, last week was a pretty good week.
This week, after spending numerous days in the […]
Have any of you bloggers heard of, or perhaps participated in, Blog Action Day? I think I remember it last year, but thanks to Marijke of Help My Hurt and Womb Within, I know about it early enough this year to participate.In a nutshell:

Plenty of things happened this week for which I’m thankful. I talked to two of my favorite editors, spent some much needed time with a loved one, realized there was more money in the bank than I thought, and helped someone find a job.
Chopper even found her favorite ball - one that’s been lost for […]
I can’t believe I just discovered this.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) offers tons of mental health publications, brochures, posters, notepads, and cards for you to order - for free.
I know, I was ecstatic, too.
And why I […]
In a couple of weeks, colleges and universities across the nation will be opening their doors for for students to begin attending fall semester classes.
If you’re like many traditional college students, you’ve probably started that budget balancing act to make sure books, clothes, and dorm room necessities are covered, figuring out which roommate’s going […]
I enjoy a good dose of mental health humor from time to time. As long as it doesn’t make fun of, abuse, or otherwise degrade people with mental illness and promote stigma, I think it’s healthy to laugh at ourselves sometimes.
I’m sure my feelings play a big role in why I heart Chato’s efforts at […]
Yesterday’s email from my best friend’s mother graciously letting me know she thinks I’d be a good contender on American Idol included, I get a lot of spam in my inbox. Unfortunately, spammers’ generosity sometimes leads to me deleting emails that are actually important.
Thankfully, I didn’t delete a forward I received last night, originally written […]
Attention Facebook and MySpace users!
And, well, anyone who’s ever wanted to use Facebook or MySpace but couldn’t quite get the hang of the ol’ “trying to look totally natural even though you’re totally takin’ a picture of yourself in the mirror” thing.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is in the process of developing an […]
