I’ve written before about Trudy Harsh, a Fairfax Realtor who decided to do something about a lack of affordable housing in Fairfax County, Virginia, for persons with mental illnesses. I am happy that the NBC affiliate in Washington D.C. recently broadcast a news story about Trudy as part of the station’s continuing effort to educate viewers about mental health issues. (Earlier this year, the station broadcast a segment about my son, Kevin, and me as part of its fabulous Changing Minds series about mental health.) Trudy’s housing model has been copied in Florida.
Her inspiring story is a vivid example of the power of one person to change a community.
Congratulations Trudy and the Brain Foundation!
