Recent Review from keynote speech at Annual Midwestern Association of Mental Health Organizations(MASMHO) Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana:

"Mr. Arauz recently spoke at the Spring meeting of MASMHO (Midwestern Association of State Mental Health Organizations). I had heard Mr. Arauz speak in July 2009 in St. Louis, Mo. at a joint meeting of State hospital superintendents and State mental health commissioners. On both occasions, the passion in his presentation and the clarity and vividness of his experience at the State hospital was enough to silence the room. He was not critical in his description, but used his experience to reach the audience and compelled them to think harder about the way we as an industry go about taking care of the people entrusted to us. His willingness to personally share his life experience as a child of a troubled parent and a Veteran of our military is courageous. His story of recovery and hope is inspiring and reminds us of why we work in this field.”

Bill Gibson, CEO, Lincoln Regional Center , Lincoln, Nebraska.

President, MASMHO
