SUMMARY - Mental Health Advocacy

A mother whose son died by suicide transforms her grief into advocacy, speaking to legislators, telling her son's story at rallies, demanding the mental health services that might have saved him. She is tired of telling the same story, but she tells it again because maybe this time someone will listen. A man with schizophrenia becomes activist, challenging the system that once confined him, demanding that people with lived experience have voice in decisions affecting them. He is dismissed as unstable when convenient for those who disagree.
