Terry Wise was the featured Speaker at the Fifth Annual Community Mental Health Conference in Evanston, IL. There were approximately 300 mental health professionals, consumers, family members and interested lay public in attendance. The Conference addressed Depression in Adults 20-50. As the organizers and principal sponsors we thought Terry was wonderful. Even more important, the participants’ evaluations almost uniformly rated her presentation as “excellent.” Here is a sampling of their comments:
- Terry Wise gave the pointedly and poignant human aspect of depression from her own personal experience. I felt healed from my own experience by listening to her.
- Fabulous…could have listened for hours more.
- 1st time hearing a survivor of suicide who could speak about their own experience–Terry wise was terrific!
- Tremendous—the right mix of her own history and what needed to be said.
- Great! Having a first person account was incredibly powerful.
- The honesty, as she shared her story, was extremely helpful to me. She is highly articulate and knowledgeable. God bless you, Terry.
We would highly recommend Terry Wise as a presenter at a mental health conference.
