A Family's Perspective

Home on the Hill presents a Speaker Series event on
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH/2014
at ST. MARY'S ANGLICAN CHURCH in RICHMOND HILL @ 7:00pm.

From a family's perspective, Ana Long will discuss her challenges and successes in providing care to her son, who is a person living with schizophrenia.

" My youngest son has schizophrenia with concurrent disorders. This illness has greatly impacted the quality of life for my son as well as for me and my family. This is a journey that has forced us into an array of eye-opening experiences, some horrendous and heart-wrenching, some giving room for hope. Becoming educated in the matters of schizophrenia and related issues has been key to our daily survival, but the greatest source of hope lies in the empathetic non-judgmental professional and personal contacts which support us through our very many challenges." 

Ana will be introduced by Marvin Ross, a publisher specializing in books on serious mental illness and a regular blogger for both Huffington Post and his own blog 'Mind You'. He was the recipient of the Hall of Fame Award in 2013 from FAME for recognition of his contribution to the public's understanding of mental illness, and his untiring advocacy around mental health issues. 

This is a FREE seminar. 

Parking accessed through McLatchy Lane north off Major Mackenzie, just west of Yonge.
