Jeffer-she.

On 2/9/09, I started my current job as a case manager at a psychiatric rehabilitation center in Evanston, IL and I will never be the same. It's a residential facility; a half way house if you will. Every person who lives there has a severe mental illness, mostly schizophrenia. My job is to plan treatment for my residents which boils down to hanging out with them all day. Therefore, I have lots of stories and I want to share them with you. A lot of it is funny and I hope that it's entertaining but I also hope that in some way, I can help diminish the stigma that is so often attached to people who suffer from mental illness.
