I'm really excited to be gearing up for the next Laughing Like Crazy program.
This group is going to be a lot of fun because for the first time we're focusing on a specific age range - young adults. We've always had particiapnts from across the age spectrum, but this time we're focusing on the those bewteen 19 and 24.
It's chance to really delve into the issues that come up at an age when many people have their first major crisis or emergence of psychiatric symptoms. It's also a time when there can be a lot of pressure to figure out what to do with your life and make decisions about education, work, and relationships. Those decisions can be even harder when trying to figure out how medication, diagnosis, and hospitals will fit into the equation.
I was lucky enough to stumble into the Laughing Like Crazy program at that time in my life and it gave me the confidence to pursue the goals I had set for myself, but also showed me a whole other world of possibilities to explore.
The program is free, but you need to register in advance. We're accepting applications until Wednesday, October 26, 2011 so apply soon and spread the word!
