We are all Teachers, and what we teach is what we need to learn, and
 so we teach it over and over again until we learn it.
—A Course in Miracles

There is a guidance for each of us, and by slowly listening, we shall hear the right word.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.

We WIN: Client Leadership Program

"Clients at the head of the table!" is the national call for mental health system transformation. However, this request comes without supports which enable and empower clients to claim that lead role. We WIN is a customized program that calls forth and develops client leaders and others as consultants, educators, and service providers for the mental health system. The 3-step process develops the individual, builds strong relationship lines, and then reaches out for participation in and with community.

 
Programs:

The Listening Well Experience (LWE)

This personal exploration is designed to deepen self-knowledge, enhance leadership capacity, and further the human experience. This workshop is for those committed to their inner and outer journey and who seek balance and wholeness in their lives. Because storytelling is a universal language, the Listening Well Experience can be delivered in any language, to any age group, and with any population. Of particular interest is developing bi-lingual, bicultural facilitators to serve monolingual populations. Along with a wellness and recovery story, some key outcomes are reclaimed lives, the realization that one is not alone, and increased personal empowerment.
