This is so important. I freely talk about my mental illness. We here at "The Get Away Drop in Center" all share our stories. We delve into them a bit more on Tuesday mornings in our Mental Health Workshop. There is no need to be ashamed or embarrassed. You are not alone!!!

Just got back from the statewide JIMHO conference. Got a great idea from it and will be waiting to get the board's input at our next board meeting!!!

This says it all. We here at the drop in Get Away Drop in Center are perfect examples of this. Not every day is a good day, but they keep on keeping on. If you need help come in and see us. We are here for you.

Saw this today and thought I would pass it on!!

I want to apologize to you for not being here on FB for you. Many things have been going on in my life that have put me in crisis. I have always been very upfront and honest about my mental health with you and felt that I would be lying to you if I didn't share this. This is the first time in almost 4 years that I have found myself here. I want to give a shout out to all my supporters who have been there for me and had my back. The members here at the center have been awesome!!! I actually was going through a couple of trainings at the same time as my crisis and will admit that while it was difficult to go to the computer and turn it on and sit through them it was well worth it. I learned a lot and took a lot from the training. This was the fastest that I have ever gotten my feet back underneath me afterwards. I am not entirely out of the woods, but I see the juncture that my recovery road is at. This was the first time I didn't feel alone as went down this path. I now have a lot more information that I can use to make a toolbox that I can use to help keep me out of crisis again. It was difficult and strange to not only people that I was in crisis and have them understand what I was talking about but to admit to myself that this is what was going on. I didn't go down a lot of the darker paths that I normally visit while in crisis. So, to that, I can give myself a shout out.
You are not alone, if you find yourself in a mental crisis, this center is for you. There are tools that can be shared with you to help you or if nothing else just being here to listen. Someone to tell you, "I understand", and to know that they really do understand is a huge weight off from your shoulders. I can't begin to tell you how important this center and the people of this center are to the local community. If you know of someone that my story may help, please share this with them.
Thank you for being there,
Christina Bowers
Program Director @ The Get Away Drop In Center

"What mental health needs is more sunlight, candor, and more unashamed conversation". - Glen Close
How true is that!?!?!?!? We can't provide the sunlight, but we do provide candor, unashamed conversation, and a stigma and judge free atmosphere. We are a resource for this community. If you know of someone that needs help walking down that road of mental health recovery let them know we are here.
