Recovery from mental health problems happens in a society of acceptance. Friends can make all the difference by just being there and offering support, friendship, strength and acceptance.
You have always been there for your friend – here is your chance to tell your story. SAMHSA.gov is looking for meaningful stories about friends helping another through recovery from mental health problems or during a particularly hard time in their lives.
The story can either be derived from real life or can be fictional. Please be discreet about the true identity of the friend with mental health problems unless he/she agrees to participate.
