The Work and Recovery Video project is a collection of videos illustrating the important and instrumental role that work plays in the recovery process.  People with the lived experience of mental illness, providers of services, administrators, family members, friends and others are invited to talk about their perspectives on the role of employment and/or education in recovery and overall quality of life.  For a more detailed discussion of the narrative sharing process and the impact this sharing can have on others, please read George Brice’s  blog article, “Why Share our Personal Recovery Narratives: A Tool for Respect!” at https://vocationalvoice.com/2012/09/18/why-share-our-personal-recovery-narratives-a-tool-for-respect/

The Work and Recovery videos will be used for educational purposes, professional development, advocacy, and motivational purposes.  New videos will be added on a regular basis.  If you or someone you know is interested in telling a work and recovery story and having it available for others to see, please contact Joni Dolce at 856-566-2772 or dolcejn@umdnj.edu.
