ALTERNATIVE MENTAL HEALTH RADIO
On the topic of:
How we can replace harsh and invasive psychiatric interventions with personal empowerment, self-help, and recovery for people in mental/emotional distress?
Our guests:
- MARY ELLEN COPELAND is nationally and internationally recognized for her work in studying how people recover from mental health challenges using simple, safe, non-invasive, widely available and usually free self-help resources (including WRAP – Wellness Recovery Action Plans). Her focus is on shifting the system of mental health care away from the use of psychotropic medications and harsh traumatizing treatments, and to personal empowerment, self-help, prevention and recovery through natural supports, education, training, and research.
