Check out an organization called "Telling My Story." They mostly refer to people that have been incarcerated but its about mental illness. I wanted to bring it to Anchorage but im just one small person. If anyone is interested i'll volunteer. There is another organization that does good things for the mentally ill n Anchorage. They do not take a position on whether a person chooses meds or not. They also help families of mentally ill.  They r National Alliance on Mental Illness or NAMI. They r a national organization. They have peer support meetings for the mentally ill. They also provide speakers to the APD Crisis Intervention Team. These police wear CIT on their shirt/coats. Read about them too. 

Its a great program and available to all.
