Workshop Description: “Recovery from Severe Mental Illness: A Conspiracy of Hope”
For centuries a prognosis of doom and chronicity has surrounded a diagnosis of mental illness.  Drawing on lessons learned from her own recovery after a diagnosis of schizophrenia, Pat Deegan will describe the journey to recovery and wellness.  She will then widen the lens and discuss how peers, families, communities and service providers can create recovery enhancing environments in which people with diagnoses can grow and achieve their human potential.  A panel of local advocates will reflect on Pat’s talk and add their perspectives.  There will be ample time for audience interaction.
