You
can spread the message of hope The bad
news: Stigma, shame,
discrimination, unemployment, homelessness, criminalization, social
isolation, poverty, and premature death mark the lives of most individuals
with the most severe and persistent mental illnesses. The good news comes
from the Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health: "The overarching
message is that hope and restoration of a meaningful life are
possible." The participants at Tasks Unlimited have been seriously affected by brain disorders, but they lead happy and successful lives. Everyone works, and they are proud of their capacity to earn money, and are empowered by the choices that an earned income allows them. They manage the daily responsibilities of life on their own. A contribution to Tasks Unlimited helps over 200 people a year and will help us reach many more.
