Will You Help Me?

My name is Denise and my son is mentally ill. I have spent the biggest part of my adult life and most of his life fighting for him. Fighting to get him the treatment he needs, fighting to get him the help at school he needs, fighting to find doctors and therapists who CARE about him and his well being and don't see him as just another patient, or even worse a paycheck. I have found that they are few and far between. My son in the past 8 years has had one great therapist before her there was a long list of therapists that just didn't make the cut.

As my children have grown up and started to move on I wondered what I would do with my life. I had always wanted to go to college but never knew what I wanted to study. I prayed about it for months and realized God had been preparing me for my career for many years. He has blessed me with my son and the ability to love, care and fight for not only my son but other children as well.

This fall I enrolled at the University Of Arkansas Fort Smith and  I am officially a full time student as a Psychology major. This is where the help comes in. I am working on a research paper about Mental Illness and Alternative Treatments . If you yourself suffer from a mental illness, or have a child with mental illness would you please consider taking the short survey? No names will be asked for, you will remain compleatly annonamous in every way. If you have any questions regarding who I am or the paper I am writing please email me or leave me a comment and I'll give you the contact information for my teacher and my school.

Please feel free to leave comments, if  you don't want them posted let me know and I won't publish them.
