Living with Schizophrenia and Other Mental Illnesses
( LWS&OMI )

This is what happenes during a LWS&OMI program:

Consumers who are actively engaged in their own recovery present basic information about
         their illnesses, coping, and their realistic prospects for maintaining wellness
         and reclaiming fulfilling, productive lives. A presentation can last from
         about one-half hour to three times that long, depending on the audience and
         their questions and involvement.
          Consumer presentations cover the disruption and trauma mental illness
         brings to one’s life, what it takes to maintain wellness, and the hopes and
         dreams that are possible with today’s supports and treatments. LWS&OMI is
         offered to various audiences by people who are actually living the reality of
         recovery, becoming role models for others striving to regain lives, and inviting
         all segments of their communities to discuss what serious mental illnesses
         really mean for those who have them.
