Reseña del libro "More Together: 25 Years of Peer Practice at On Our Own Charlottesville (en Inglés)"

Twenty-five years ago a group of people who had experienced serious mental illness came together to provide support to one another as they sought to heal themselves. That group organized and became On Our Own of Charlottesville, Virginia, a peer run organization. Through the years this community has endeavored to carry out its mission to "provide mutual support, self-help, advocacy and education, information, and referral services to individuals who have experienced significant problems in their lives due to a mental illness-and who acknowledge this; and to advocate for positive changes within the traditional mental health system." At different stages On Our Own has emphasized different aspects of this mission. The main thing OOO had done over its lifetime is to provide a community of mutual support among peers who join together to support one another on the path to recovery. Out of these relationships, which include a lot of careful and respectful listening, individual and group needs are identified, and plans are made and carried out to meet the various needs that members bring on their road to recovery and robust wellbeing. While this process has sometimes been highly structured and intentional, and at other times informal and less conscious, it has been the same core process that was reaffirmed over and over in different forms with different language and labels over the years: caring. This book shares the things On Our Own learned along the way. Its purpose is to help others form their own organizations, helping people with mental health challenges build caring places of community and mutual growth. In this book you will find tools to develop such an organization, along with a dose of On Our Own's history so that you might learn from its mistakes and successes as you create your own unique healing community.
