Welcome

Welcome to life-rhythms! My name is craig and I'll be your heretic for tonight.

If this is your first trip to the site, let me fill you in on the master plan.

I've decided it's time to overthrow the mental health system* as we know it. Here's why . . .

Some of the brightest and best are dying at their own hands. Millions more are merely surviving. 

Wouldn't it be great if, instead, we could . . .

  1. . . . blur the lines between people who provide the services and the people who use them.
  2. . . . help the service providers to overcome the fear of those they serve.
  3. . . . go beyond mere treatment compliance, and  actually show people  how to get their lives back!

By the way, my weapons of choice are knowledge, information, and idle ramblings.

 

*Oh, and don't blame the professionals. I know many who are quite dedicated but stuck in an ancient system with outmoded paradigms.

He's A Born Pessimist!

Written by craig

Some people see the glass as half empty. Others see it as probably carcinogenic and undrinkable anyway. We all have 'em, those friends who see a cloud in every silver lining. Yep, I found another study.
