Welcome!

This is the first post of the Peer Support Corner. I hope this will be a resource for people recovering from serious mental illness. I am always looking for interesting things about recovery and wellness. I think a lot of the things I find interesting may be of interest to others in recovery, so I started this blog as a way to share what I've found. I find the most interesting things from other bloggers, so that is what I will be sharing.

Humor and spirituality are very important to me. Click on the cartoon character widget on the right of the blog and get a taste of mental health humor. You can find a little Taoist wisdom at the bottom of the page.

The first thing I would like to introduce you to is a post from another peer in Canada. If you have read my other blog Irritablebrain.com and enjoyed it, I'm sure you will enjoy this.

Sharing is the essence of peer support. Take a second look at the meaning of mental health recovery from the blog of the Hopeworks Community.


Finally, riding on the heels of the 5th anniversary of Katrina, see the lasting effects of the Bush administration's efforts to block Medicaid relief to Katrina children here.

This ends my first short post. Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend!
