Not Sure What to Write About?

Here are some suggestions for recovery story topics to get you started:

• What does “recovery” mean to you?
• What keeps you or your loved one on the path to recovery?
• Write about a mental health professional, service provider or someone else who helped you or a loved one.
• What should a (parent, spouse, child, friend, employer, etc.) know to support someone with (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, etc.)?
• How do you or your loved one cope with stress and symptoms?
• Write about a goal (e.g., getting a job, going back to school) that has helped you or a loved stay focused on recovery.
• What roles do wellness and a healthy lifestyle play in your (or a loved one’s) recovery?
