Book Signing at the NAMI Convention in Chicago

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Dottie’s book signing on July 7th at the NAMI Convention went very well. She met many nice people dealing with bipolar disorder in their families as well as consumers who suffer from the illness. It was truly a heartwarming experience.

In addition, Dottie was asked to speak at a session on Psychiatric Advance Directives and Civil Commitments. The presenter was Shawn Majette, member, Special Needs Alliance in Richmond, VA, who had read her book and asked Dottie to speak about her experience with the mental health system in Virginia.
