Cured: Is Recovery from Mental Illness Possible?

Sarah Fay (Ph.D., M.A., M.F.A.) wows audiences with her inspiring story of full recovery from mental illness. Her keynotes are immersive, emotional, and transformative experiences. Drawing on 25 years of lived experience and her training as a certified Mental Health Peer Recovery Specialist, Sarah empowers those suffering from mental health conditions to heal.

In her gripping talks, Sarah shares her journey from a “hopeless” case to full recovery. She explores various definitions of recovery, data, and what mental health recovery looks like. Her presentations are especially relevant for students and women, who often face mental health challenges.

Key learning points include:

  • Crafting mental health narratives

  • Understanding personal versus clinical recovery

  • Concrete tools and resources for recovery

  • Creating supportive environments

Sarah writes for major publications and has received literary awards. She’s on the faculty at Northwestern University. Her memoirs, Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses (HarperCollins) and Cured, share her illness and recovery stories and inspire hope for others.
