"I greatly appreciated your presentation; the courage it took to identify yourself in a role in which you are so vulnerable. I especially related and empathized as someone who shared something of your legacy. You have also conveyed to me a much-needed support as I do try to develop a role for myself in psychiatry which isn't limted to pushing meds at people I hardly know."
— Dr. W. Sheehan; psychiatrist
"Thank you, Tina and Jeff, for the incredible work you are doing in helping all of us, providers and patients, come to a better understanding of mental illness."
