When someone stands up and tells their story in person, it allows the listener to not only hear the story but look the person in the eyes and get a glimpse of that person's humanity.
Ever wondered how sharing your personal journey can change lives? The RESPECT Institute (RI) is all about that. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Joel Sleck, the founder of RI, about how the organization helps people with mental illness and substance use disorders transform their experiences into compelling presentations. The goal? To promote understanding, respect, and compassion in communities everywhere.
Joel explains that RI offers three-day training sessions where participants learn to organize and tell their stories effectively. Graduates then share these stories in various settings, from legislative meetings to university classrooms. It's not just about breaking down stigma—it's about healing and personal growth too. Sharing your story can be a powerful tool for self-esteem and recovery. Tune in to hear how RI is making a difference, one story at a time.
