About 100 supporters gathered in room A-2 of the State House on September 23, 2009 to demonstrate in favor of the mental heath bills being heard there. The aura in the room was outstanding, brimming with a sense of companionship and force of will, both of which were strong. The network for participants was so comprehensive that peer support persons set up outside the hearing room for those who might be triggered by the day’s events or testimonies.
