Those close to someone with a mental illness are affected just as much as the person with the illness. The Ah Project is a community targeted to people close to someone with a severe mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression). The centerpiece of the project is a website, where people use a variety of formats to express how a mental illness has affected their lives. The goals of The Ah Project are to provide support, help rid the sense of isolation, and to change the conversation around mental illness. By providing a forum for communication, support, and resources, The Ah Project helps loved ones reach the stage of acceptance more easily.
