mental illness, particularly one like schizophrenia, can have a devastating effect on family relationships. The co-authors of the book
<b><i>Marriage and Schizophrenia: Eyes on the Prize</i></b>, Andrew and Stephanie Downing, chose to marry and have children in spite of a full awareness that he had already been diagnosed with schizophrenia. The Downings will discuss the challenge they faced
and the tools they used in moving Andrew into recovery – spirituality, non-confrontational communication, fine-tuning of therapy and medication with specialists, the acceptance of limitations, and work with NAMI. Books will be available for sale and signing.
