In these snapshots from on-going sagas, youll read about grim realities - terrible group homes, suicides, adult children killed by police, incarcerations, solitary confinement, lack of beds, family chaos, substance abuse, ineffective medications, heart-breaking HIPAA restrictions, hallucinations, homelessness, sorrow, hurt, and anger. Simultaneously, youll read about profound love, caregiving, gratitude, forgiveness, hope, strength, persistence, resilience, generosity, leadership, courage, pursuing dreams, understanding, and heroism.

Please read our stories. Set aside any conscious biases about serious mental illnesses (SMI) and the people and families who struggle with them. Imagine us as relatives or friends - people you care deeply about. We mothers, in Tomorrow Was Yesterday, are counting on you to help us use outrage and compassion to reach a tipping point for change. Were relying on your word of mouth support to get these stories out to the broader, unknowing public. It has no idea how abysmal things are.

-Dede Ranahan

I am confident these stories will cause the world to wake up, take notice, and implement the change we so badly need.

-Miriam Feldman, painter and author of He Came In with It: A Portrait of Motherhood and Madness

Reading these intimate accounts will change you. It changed me.

-Steve Goldbloom, Emmy-nominated writer, producer, director, and creator of the Brief But Spectacular series for PBS NEWsHour. The shows mission is to invite viewers to walk in someone elses shoes.

If these stories cant convince policy makers, I dont know what will.

-Mindy Greiling, Minnesota legislator for 20 years, and author of Fix What You Can: Schizophrenia and a Lawmakers Fight for Her Son
