Please join us today at noon for our WCCI Wednesday Conversation. We will be talking with Helen Joy George, advocate for mental wellness, motivational speaker, writer, and photographer. Helen Joy is the closing speaker for this year's 2022 WCCI Conference and today we will have the distinct pleasure of spending an hour with her. We will hear about her story, the people and events that changed her life, and how she maintains wellness. She is a person of deep strength, insight, and wisdom and I am so looking forward to our conversation.
More about her book, Yellow Tulips:
In a story of remarkable perseverance, Helen Joy writes a memoir of her unusual childhood, her mental breakdown at age 31, and how she fought for a year to stay alive in the mental healthcare system. Yellow Tulips is filled with the ugly truth that is mental healthcare in this country, but is beautifully woven with threads of hope, family, and resilience. This book is a must read for those who want to love others better. You can find her book here: my book — helen joy
