This is the latest community building effort of CenterPointe in Lincoln, NE. CenterPointe is an organization helping people with mental illness and addiction live healthier, more productive lives.
Check out our profile or website for more specifics…
We’re here in the blogosphere to tell the stories of people living with mental illness & addiction and the stories of people who work with them.
So, why are these stories important anyway?
Because people living with mental illness and addiction are just people. Just everyday people like you. They have desires. They have needs. They eat and sleep and put their pants on just like millions of people do every day.
And, the people who work in behavioral health are a dedicated bunch with a lot of grit and heart. But, both groups are occasionally misunderstood.
How do I know this?
I am a person living with a mental illness in recovery for an addiction. And, I work at CenterPointe with some other cool, caring people.
Check back to read my story and how I came to work at CenterPointe. Then check back again for someone else’s story or words from our staff about why they do what they do.
