Personal Stories

The Open Dialogue forum has allowed our family to speak freely and without fear of judgment about events and emotions running 5+ years. It has been a catalyst for our collective healing process and has brought us together in a very short period of time after years of fragmentation. 

At 21 years old, our son was diagnosed with schizophrenia. My late wife and I had no idea about what lay ahead for our son and our family. We found ourselves dealing with a complex system of care, often feeling excluded from his care.
