My diagnosis doesn't define me. Yours doesn't define you either.

We don't recover the same way a car gets fixed. We need to get active. Recovery means finding our inner wisdom, learning to speak up with professionals and making the choices that are right for us.

Start living your life, not your diagnosis.

The CommonGround Program helps you blaze the path to your recovery and the life you want. Get started by using the Guides, posters and other resources below.
