FACE Mental Illness

Meet David

He loves writing poetry and prose, and listening to music. David is a role-model for his friends and peers, and is always there to offer a kind-word or lend a helping hand. David also lives with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. By taking the right medication, by being actively involved in his own treatment plan, and by practicing Buddhist meditation and principles, David lives a full, happy life. He has chosen to share his story because he wants to help break down the stigma associated with mental illness. FACE IT. Mental illness concerns us all.
