At my conference in Washington DC, I got to meet some truly inspirational Consumers who were doing some great things.  I wanted to share with you one person who really stood out to me.  Her name is Sunny Algoso.  Sunny is from Hawaii (aren't we jealous?).  She is a Consumer doing great things with her life.  Sunny is a peer educator for the State Department of Health, facilitator of the HOPE Impact support group, and host of monthly `Olelo television program, “Hope in Recovery."  This television show is played on the 'Olelo website under the "Community" heading: http://www.olelo.org/.  Mental Health America of Hawaii has named her one of its 2011 Outstanding Community Mental Health Leaders. Sunny is truly a national treasure, and I'm so grateful to have gotten to know her!

  Be Well
