PROCOVERY - The goal of this BLOG

This is a group weblog devoted to :

  • People everywhere who have a Mental Disorder
  • People who have a Mental Disorder AND who are working at PROCOVERY
  • My Friends at the Self-Help Center
  • Helping eliminate the stigma of Mental Disorder
  • Giving people with a Mental Disorder a voice and a forum for self-expression.

Procovery, by the way, is a relatively new concept developed by Kathleen Crowley. She has written a book called The Power of Procovery in healing mental illness. Here's a short definition of PROCOVERY, from the book's jacket liner:

Procovery / n: attaining a productive and fulfilling life regardless of the level of health assumed attainable [vs. recovery, returning to a prior state of health].
