Review for Open Excellence, The Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care, Wilsonville, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I met Yana Jacobs, the Chief Development Officer for Foundation for Excellence, a number of years ago at a mental health symposium.

My son has been diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder and, although he has an exceptional psychiatrist, the information I have received from the Foundation and their continuing research has been invaluable to my own understanding and how to support my son.

Further, they respect the individuals choice and decision to take medication while at the same time opening a discussion on alternatives. The information I have received on Hearing Voices Network and the new and expanding research on Schizophrenia available in their newsletters has been particularly informative and provides a different "lense" from which to view very complex diagnoses.

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field
