I received over 100 responses from persons all over the world within three days of its broadcast. During Mental Health Awareness Week May, 2018 I created an event discussing alternatives to anti-psychotics long-term use.

Disability Chamber of Commerce founder, Murphy Roland, mentors me to create an advocacy business to help disabled persons build business plans to participate in the Social Security Plan to Achieve Self Support (PASS).

It is due to be published this year. In 2015, I saw the need in the recovery community in Austin, Texas for an Alcoholics Anonymous group for those who required psychiatric and other medications to achieve long-term sobriety. Prior to that, I was greatly disturbed to see young and not-so- young people coming out of treatment centers stabilized on medications; only to be turned away. I raised the arch of A.A. in Austin by registering with the World Office of Alcoholics Anonymous first identified P-11 group; the Doctors Opinion Group. It has been a hard-fought battle with the “real alcoholic” who does not understand the need for legally prescribed medications for real medical and mental conditions. AA finally has released GSO approved literature for Alcoholics with Mental Health Issues and their Sponsors so I have renamed the group, Recovery+Challenges. EDUCATION: Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Psychology. University of Phoenix, 2012. Associates Degree in Psychology, 2009. Graduated with honors from Kingfisher High School, Kingfisher, Oklahoma. I completed high school and started college my junior year of high school with five scholarships. Then, I went back to commencement with my class. EMPLOYMENT: Psychiatric Technician, Trinity Treatment Center, Homeward Bound Program, Dallas, Texas. It was the best job in my life, with the worst pay. I did intake, facilitated groups, dispensed medications, gave UAs, taught women how to apply for jobs, dress appropriately, and re-enter society after prison. I counseled with them, did bed checks and prepared appropriate record-keeping, and forms. After an unexpected death in the family, I returned to Houston to care for my invalid mother for 13 years until her death in 2007. Previously, my career focused in print. I was the production manager for the Greensheet in Houston, Texas which produced seven weekly shopper magazines in Dallas, Austin, and five areas of Houston. I originally majored in print journalism, later Social Work and then settling in Psychology. As a single parent, I made a good living in graphic arts. I was a factory-trained typographer for over 20 years for the Agfa-Gaevart Compugraphic 8400-8600 photo- typesetting computer. I have owned a Graphic Arts/Typography business, two monthly rock-and-roll magazines connected with KYTX, Amarillo, TX; and KAKC, Tulsa, OK. I have done accounting, sales, customer service, marketing, production, taxes, photography, newsletters, and had a 3rd ticket radio license. I have been on disability since 1995, and have done consulting, tutoring, writing, fundraising, advocacy for mental illness, and much service work in several 12-step groups since 3-22-1995. Ruby Tuesday is my service animal and the best dog in the universe.
