Peace Of Mind: Groups Sprouting Up To Spread Awareness Of Mental Illness
A year ago, Robert Freyer was lying on his dorm room floor at the University of Connecticut, a bottle of painkillers in one hand, his cellphone in the other, deciding whether to overdose on the pills.
This fall is very different for Freyer. After six months of counseling on campus and some physical healing as well, he is feeling more positive about his life and has joined a group on campus that reaches out to students with mental and emotional problems. They work to raise awareness about mental illness and about the help available on campus.
