Schizophrenia Awareness Week: Share your story

Hi everyone,

17 May - 23 May is Schizophrenia Awareness Week.

For many, a diagnosis of schizophrenia can be overwhelming and scary. There is much stigma and unknown attached to the illness, which many have to overcome.

You are not alone though.

Sandy Jeffs has shared her inspiring story of living with schizophrenia. She writes 'I entered my forties with no future, identity or self esteem, and left that decade with success, hope, and a much stronger sense of self.’ Read more of her story here

To raise awareness of schizophrenia, we want to 'open the floor' to those of you who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, to share your story, and educate people on what it's like to experience the symptoms of schizophrenia, what inspires you, and your hopes for the future.

We hope by sharing and educating others, there is greater understanding of schizophrenia.
