“The idea that bias can be managed is often promoted as peers and practitioners are developing skills to
interact within communities and as helpers. However, bias can often go deeper and be more challenging to
overcome than simply recognizing. This bias can further create barriers to helping the very individuals in
communities that are most vulnerable in society. This interactive workshop will focus on identifying cultural
biases that are “seemingly invisible” to the professional, while considering how to empower and give voice to
those who feel most invisible.”

What Empowers?
My keynote, "What Empowers?", is a highly visual and story-based
exploration of how we might re-imagine approaches to mental health. Using
my own lived experience, we tour how services currently operate and consider
the possibilities of a more relationship-focused paradigm. Investigating
connection, we uncover how the natural world relies on collaboration to create
health and consider lessons to be learned from that. We look at the power of
community and mutually supportive relationships, surveying innovative
programs that implement both. An inspiring, provocative, big picture talk,
What Empowers? invites the audience to call forth passion in the work they do.

 Litoi, the man in the maze

The story of Litoi is also the story of every human being,

traveling life as through a maze, taking many turns while growing
stronger and wiser as life continues until the end at the dark center of the maze.
Tracing the light path with your finger you will find one more turn at the end, away from
the center. Here we can look back on the trail and find acceptance of the last step.

Hope and Recovery

We believe that people CAN recover from even the most serious and persistent
mental illnesses; such as schizophrenia, major depression, or bipolar
disorder. Studies suggest that individuals recover, or significantly improve, when
provided the appropriate treatments and support systems. Psychiatric rehabilitation
services are the result of the past 35 years’ effort to use more effective and lower-
cost alternatives, in leu of long-term institutionalization.
