RECOVERY RECOVERY from mental illness is possible ... with safe and affordable housing and appropriate supports.
Affordable housing for the mentally illSince there is a shortage of affordable housing for the people with mental illness,the Government should expand the number of safe,affordable independent housing units in order make recovery possible. | Ruth Graham
Ruth Graham (daughter of Ruth and Billy Graham) writes about her many years of suffering with depression,drugs,eating disorders and thoughts of suicide in her 2004 book “In Every Pew Sits A Broken Heart,”Church was never the comfort for her that it seemed to be for others. An adult with a tragic life behind her,she was finally able to talk about it. Being the daughter of a famous preacher she felt she should not have problems. Through the steady love of her family she was able to feel God’s forgiveness. Her message today is that being a Christian doesn’t guarantee us a perfect life. She hopes her story will give those who want to serve others a place to start in knowing what to do and say. | |
