Show Me RESPECT ...

Show Me RESPECT

Creating Communities of Hope begins with RESPECT. Joel Slack, founder of Respect International, LLC, developed the RESPECT Seminar to promote the powerful impact that respect (and disrespect) has on a person recovering from a psychiatric disability.  Joel presents personal experiences and shows that RESPECT impacts all of us in our daily lives. His message is relevant to anyone interested in gaining a consumer’s perspective regarding mental health and the relationship between service provider and patient. Free public seminars are scheduled throughout Missouri in summer 2008. In addition, Joel will be offering training later this year through the RESPECT Institute, a five-day training program designed to teach consumers how to share their own personal stories to educate others.
