check-in conversation once the session is over. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

We are all human and ask others to step forward and respectfully remind us if we slip on any of these expectations.

In the PAST, we believed… TODAY, we know… Mental illnesses were chronic and the best we could hope for was to not get worse A person may be affected by a mental illness for a prolonged period but everyone has the potential to grow beyond and live a meaningful life Professionals know best Professionals and Peers can bring a valuable perspective but the person affected is the expert Medication was the primary tool Medication is one of many tools. For many, a series of seemingly small actions is what leads to recovery

The Butterfly Story: A man spent hours watching a butterfly struggling to emerge from it’s cocoon. It managed to make a small hole, but it’s body was too large to get through it. After a long struggle, it appeared to be exhausted and remained absolutely still. The man decided to help the butterfly and , with a pair of scissors, he cut open the cocoon, thus releasing the butterfly. However, the butterfly's body was very small and wrinkled and its wings were all crumpled. The man continued to watch, hoping that, at any moment, the butterfly would open it’s wings and fly away. Nothing happened; in fact the butterfly spent the rest of its brief life dragging around its shrunken body and shrivelled wings, incapable of flight. What the man –

  • ut of kindness and his eagerness to help had failed to understand was the the right cocoon

and the efforts that the butterfly had to make in order to squeeze out of that tiny hole where Natures way of training the butterfly and of strengthening its wings. Sometimes, a little extra effort is precisely what prepares us for the next obstacle to be faced. Without that effort, we are left unprepared to face the next challenge and we may never manage to fly off to our destiny.
