Special Guest Speaker on Family “Matters” Focus:

ALLYSON SUSKO - Allyson’s experience in mental health has touched on all facets of the mental health system. From the early warning signs of schizophrenia to crisis and finally recovery. As a family member and now mental health professional, she brings a unique perspective to living with schizophrenia that only family members can be familiar with. Her personal story shows that people with a mental illness, and their families, can move past the illness and lead very regular lives.
