"You made a strong connection" says Jacqueline Novet of Hawthorn House

David spoke at Hawthorn House, a program of the ShelterCare in Eugene, Oregon, in November 2008, here's feedback from event organizer Jacqueline Novet.


Your presentation today was right on, which didn't surprise me at all, as I've already seen you in action.

My observation was that you made a strong connection with everyone present at today's community meeting. I would be very surprised if at least a few didn't follow through by showing up at future MindFreedom events. I particularly appreciated seeing that a couple of individuals who came into the system under the old guard seemed very animated and engaged with your message and call to action around human rights and choice in mental health treatment.

Speaking strictly for myself, I also feel inspired by your message, and I'd love to be more of a part of that. I'll continue to organize and encourage groups from Hawthorn to attend Opal Network and other meetings, and look forward to working with you ongoing.

Warm regards,

Jacqueline Novet, Hawthorne House, ShelterCare
