Hi All, Please delete if this post is not allowed. I am a graduate student completing my dissertation and looking for participants for my study. I am examining the impact that self-advocacy can have on mental health outcomes. I hope to be able to use this data to develop strengths-based psychotherapy techniques.
If you are interested please see the recruitment letter below. Thank you in advance.

The research is intended to supply the researcher with information about strategies that could improve life satisfaction in individuals diagnosed with an SPMI. Completion time for the survey is approximately 15-25 minutes. Participants are only allowed to participate once in the current study. In exchange for your participation, you may optionally choose to be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card.
