Spring 2014 - Two Days in a Life

Entry in Erik's personal journal, July 26, 2013: "I woke up with vague memories of hurting myself last night. I didn't tell anyone. I have stayed in my room all day avoiding my parents.

I have been very depressed for awhile now and have not been having real good thoughts about myself, not really liking myself very much I guess. I don't take any medications anymore. I have lost contact with all my friends. I used to work sometimes, not anymore. I'm not doing much at all. After those thoughts above, I guess I hurt myself again, this time pretty bad. My parents found me and called an ambulance."

As Rachel Carson wrote in Silent Spring, "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves in strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature."...

Fall 2013 - Horses Help Us Heal

This is a story about the natural power of animals to impact healing, and how a very special horse changed the life of a young woman in pain.

Adrienne came to Hopewell at age 19 with a diagnosis of depression. Her illness caused her to hear voices that told her she was worthless, that no one wanted her around them, and that it would be better if she would just die. Adrienne had been cutting her arms (superficially) for three years prior to coming to Hopewell.
