SUMMARY:PSAN Recovery Speaker Series - Yale Hicks
DESCRIPTION:Yale will talk about his recovery story including an in-depth description of the different communities he has been a part of that have been so helpful.  These communities include Gould Farm\, the Twelve Step Program\, and where he works today which is Waverley Place affiliated with McLean Hospital.  Yale has worked at Waverley Place for over 17 years.  He will cover his evolvement as a person mentally\, emotionally\, professionally\, and spiritually on his recovery journey. \nAbout Yale\nI grew up in Dallas\, Tx and spent my first 18 years there.  Life was not easy\, and I found solace with friends and sports.  I attended Tulane University after graduating high school.  While studying abroad\, I had my first spiritual emergency which started my recovery journey.  I then battled labels including a diagnosis and a great deal of discrimination.  After bouncing around and having no meaning in life or purpose\, I found Gould Farm which was a life saver.  From there my journey was on an upward trajectory with setbacks along the way.  Each step back led to more learning and evolvement.  Now I work at Waverley Place in Belmont\, MA as the Program Coordinator which is affiliated with Mclean Hospital.  This community has provided me with a place of acceptance\, non-judgement\, a place to be myself\, and inspirational work.  Some of the achievements I have achieved along the way were things at times I never thought were possible.  Realizing that I needed support was a realization that helped me tremendously. \nJoin us to learn more about Yale Hicks personal journey. \nMcLean News | Yale Hicks: His Journey to Becoming a Peer Specialist (mcleanhospital.org) \n\n— \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://bostonmedicalcenter.zoom.us/j/96984874345 \nMeeting ID: 969 8487 4345\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,96984874345# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,96984874345# US (Germantown) \nDial by your location\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)

SUMMARY:PSAN Recovery Speaker Series - Dan Fisher
DESCRIPTION:Heartbeats of Hope by Daniel Fisher\,MD\,PhD\n\n\n\nDan will describe his recovery from several episodes of psychosis\, for which he was diagnosed as schizophrenia. However\, instead of being a life ending experience Dan was able to turn the adversity into an experience of healing.\n\nAbout Dan\nIn his twenties Dan had set out to solve the chemical puzzle of severe mental health conditions. He was hoping he could assist his sister who had suffered from mental health challenges starting in her childhood. He obtained a PhD in biochemistry and pursued neurochemical research at NIMH. There he made discoveries about the regulation of neurotransmitters. However\, in the course of carrying out the research\, he delved so deeply into the nature of his chemistry that he came to believe he was the enzyme he was studying. During his second psychiatric hospitalization\, at Bethesda Naval Hospital\, he decided to become a psychiatrist and humanize the mental health system. He worked as a community psychiatrist for 30 years\, but was disappointed to learn that though psychiatrists are powerful within the psychiatric hospitals\, they are not powerful in the political realms that must be reached to carry out transformation. So he founded and ran a policy and training organization\, the National Empowerment Center\, 31 years ago. His work in promoting change was recognized by his being appointed a member of the White House Commission on Mental Health. He was able to get the commission to promote a vision of “a future when everyone will recover from mental illness.” More recently he has helped found a national advocacy organization\, the National Coalition for Mental Health Recovery (www.ncmhr.org)\, and published a book describing his journey and his recommendations for improving the system\, “Heartbeats of Health.” He is now working to shift societal attitudes towards emotional distress by developing the evidence-based training program\, Emotional CPR (www.emotional-cpr.org). He considers eCPR one of the most important ways to prevent severe mental health conditions by teaching everyone in society to help each other through emotional crises. eCPR can also assist in recovery from trauma-induced states such as mental health conditions and substance use disorders.\n\n\n— \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://bostonmedicalcenter.zoom.us/j/96984874345 \nMeeting ID: 969 8487 4345\nOne tap mobile\n+16465588656\,\,96984874345# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,96984874345# US (Germantown) \nDial by your location\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)
