Video: Advocating for Access to Mental Health Services

Miryam Israel, a person living with schizophrenia, speaks to a panel of Florida Senators and Congressional officials. A consumer of mental health services, she stresses the importance of access to community-based care by telling her own story of mental illness diagnosis, worried parents, multiple hospitalizations, adult living facilities (ALFs), and then finally meeting models of recovery at peer-run Drop-in Centers. Her story of successfully living in recovery with Schizophrenia, is a touching testimony that People CAN Find their own path to a fulfilling life, and that with the proper supports -- RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE!
