I am a health care professional and a mother to my only son who experiences chronic symptoms of schizophrenia. Because of this experience in witnessing my loved one who has altered functioning and difficulties in relating to the way of our world, I have been drawn to working with others who are having mental health challenges. In my work I have learned that mental health care is an essential priority and it needs to be at the individual and community level for it to be effective and truly make a difference. I am currently involved in community building through rotary services and I am applying my passion for mental wellness wholeheartedly. |
I am using the community tool box to help me in building a peer support group for mothers and other women in my community. The hope and the aim is to create a center where women and mothers can come to access mental health peer support and also other educational and personal development training to help empower them in creating the needed change to become their fullest potential. |

I am a coordinator in the Program in Public Health at NU focusing on areas of the curriculum that pertain to community engagement & advocacy |
We have used the Community Tool Box in many different ways to support our work! Recently, we did a gaps analysis- taking stock of our current established community partners & doing research to see what health areas they focus in so that we can target new partnerships strategically to fill any gaps. We used the Community Tool Box definitions of sectors/etc. to categorize our partner orgs and the work they do. It served as a really helpful frame for our research/categorizations. |

I am Mother of four adults and one child that is 12. I was widowed at 41 to the love of my life and my youngest child's father. He was a firefighter and we were working together to create a safe space for abused women and children where we could educate families on how to break the cycle of abuse. My first husband abused me for 18 years and I am a 13 year survivor of domestic violence. I have a passion to helping those who are still victims to stop the cycle of sexual and physical abuse. I am abused no more. I want to be a difference to help those recover from grief, abuse and childhood trauma. |
No This is brand new to me . I am very interested in how I can use this community to make a difference. |
