ABSTRACT
Mental health conditions have a lot in common with other health conditions. When a person experiences a serious and ongoing mental health condition, their life is changed. However, people can learn to manage these conditions to be able to live full and meaningful lives. Jane Linsley has been working in the field of mental health and addictions. A graduate of Smith School for Social Work, she is licensed in social work and addictions, with additional certifications in both trauma and women’s relational theory of mental health. Catherine G. Lucas is an author, teacher, and speaker on the subject of mental health and spirituality. She brings conscious activism to her role as Project Coordinator for the new Alliance for Revisioning Mental Health. When a person has a job, a good place to live, and relationships with people who believe that they can and will recover, the likelihood of them successfully managing a mental health condition increases greatly.
