I figure if I can get just one person to change their perspective then it's a success.
It is definitely a success! I am keen on prevention, too. }
A couple of years ago I used to work with adults suffering from schizophrenia. Then I realized that it would be much more worthy if I work with young individuals for preventing a disease. That's why I started working with children.
So I am a prevention and awareness fan, too.
Btw, helping others is a great strategy to deal with your own distress! Believe me, that's why psychologists become psychologists! ;)
Nice to hear, I'm on the right track. I know I view things a little differently and speaking from being in their shoes. To let them know, no matter what they are not alone, wrong and that they are worthy.
I can imagine working with schizophrenics being very hard. To work with children, I know can be a little trying but once they open up, it's amazing.
