Clara A
When asked why she would be willing to share her story, Clara expressed her desire to help others struggling with mental illness who are scared to seek help. “If I can help just one person have the courage to seek help, it will be worth it,” said Clara. “Seeking help has given me strength and a conviction to move on with my life.”

Harlene feels that although she was a victim much of her life, she can use those experiences to her advantage and doesn’t need to stay a victim. She sees her past experiences as stepping stones to where she is now. She spends much of her time riding her horse and enjoying the fulfilling life she always longed for. “I have so much appreciation for the staff at Solvista,” said Harlene. “The care and treatment they gave me, changed my life.”

“When I started receiving services at Solvista I couldn’t have even imagined my life being even a third as good as it is now,” said Shelia. “My illness no longer controls my life. I now have tools and skills to make it through hard times and not let them put my life on hold,” she said. “I am no longer a victim, I am a survivor and the future is open for me to live my life fully.”
