OSYM Takes Recovery and Well-Being Award Again This Year!

April 15th 2010 marks the 2nd Anniversary of the "Defining Moment" where recovery began for Cathy Cornell. Thirty-two years of depression after a traumatic assault that robbed her of her innocence and her young adulthood would no longer hold her hostage! After listening to a young 16 year old NAMI OutSpoken Young Mind tell her own traumatic assault to a County Mental Health Meeting, Cathy was Inspired, "If she can do it, so can I" and she did!
Cathy received the Recovery and Well-Being Award May 4, 2010 for recognition of her extraordinary contributions and leadership to Mental-Health; and For exemplary public service and civic contributions to the community and Kern County.
