So, check each week for a blog or video to see my road trip/journey as I go a long on this road. Will you join me and support/encourage me. Feel free to leave comments and question to help me grow on this road. Also, feel free to engage with me and leave a message what would you like to see on this website.
Our Mission is:
The belief is that your mental illness does not define you but provides a safe community for people who want to work on themselves or be willing to try.

My husband and I have been married since December 15, 2001. My husband, a graduate of the Ohio State University with a degree in Geology, was diagnosed with depression and began working at the Star Center. In this workshop, people with intellectual disabilities worked before we met. He finally got diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia after being involved in an auto incident. Then February 11, 2017, my husband got hit by a car for the second time. He would walk all night. He was crossing Anderson Ferry Road to Cleander Drive in Delhi, OH, a Cincinnati suburb, early one Saturday morning. Luckily it was early in the morning, and a neighbor found him lying on the street. The police showed up at my door to let me know he had been transported to the University of Cincinnati Hospital (UC), had broken his clavicle, and needed surgery. He went to rehab to help to walk for two weeks. Before this incident, he had experienced two other accidents in which he had broken his left wrist and had surgery and another one where his elbow was broken into eight or nine pieces which required surgery. After that, in March 2017, he walked again and broke a tiny bone in his knee. The reason for his walking was that the voices would tell him where to walk.
My fear that he would continue to walk and have further injury plagued me. However, there was no place for him to go during these paranoid episodes. There was no help from the mental health services that he received. He had hit me in the car when he was really paranoid, and the second time, he spent a week in the psych unit, and they did nothing, including not working on his meds. So, I found a therapeutic place called Windhorse in Massachusetts, which costs $20,000.00 a month. I could not afford it. I wanted to develop a treatment center in my hometown of Cincinnati where people that want to work on themselves and/or have mental illnesses/behavioral disorders could get help. Then this began my journey to find solutions for all suffering from mental illness.

A website where people can find information/resources and links on mental illness, mental wellness, and/or who want to work on themselves and get the information all in one place. There is so much information out there on these subjects. But it is a scavenger hunt. It should be readily available for those in need, and I want to be that resource and community.
I came up with Endless Possibility as my social service agency because the road to recovery has many possibilities. You can never stop working on your recovery and/or yourself. I am still working on my ADHD and my mental health. There are so many ways to get there. I envision a road with endless possibilities. The road can have detours and interruptions. Endless Possibility is a road; you find a healing community along the way. Endless Possibility creates a community where you are not alone but better together on this journey.
You do not think you have to believe you have a mental illness but be in a community of people who want to work on themselves in a healing environment.
