I'm pretty excited about this opportunity.
I've been on an advisory committee at my psych hospital for the past 9 years, but unfortunately timed out as 9 years is the max you can serve.
So I've been looking for other ways to stay involved so I can advocate for better care within the hospital.
I heard the patient advisory council was recruiting, so I applied and was selected. I'm really happy about this, as it gives me a formal pathway into the hospital to advocate for better care, and better anti-stigma messaging.
It's initially a 2 year term, and we have our orientation meeting next month.
