Recovery is “…a deeply personal, unique process of changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills, and/or roles. It is a way of living a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life even within the limitations caused by illness. Recovery involves the development of new meaning and purpose in one’s life as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of mental illness” (Anthony 1993 p.21)

Michael is generous with his time and knowledge and is coordinating and supervising a team of 7 volunteers on behalf of Gerri’s Place, all this on top of an already packed schedule.
