I'm not sure there is anyone, outside of my family, that I have care and respect for more than you. Our bond was forged very early in the legislative hearings at the Capital in the Spring of 1999. In my role as NAMI Texas E.D. you have given 100% in the jobs that you have completed.
Joe Lovelace, Texas’ most knowledgeable and passionate mental health advocate, Texas Council for Mental Health and Mental Retardation

You are so articulate. The words just flow with you.
Shivaun Palmer <www.brainstormdocumentary.com/team.htm>

You speak about your experiences with such passion and it's so wonderful to read how happy you are. What I love most is that you want everyone else to achieve and feel what you have now. I'm so very proud of you and the woman you have become. I hope that you are just as proud of yourself. You really are amazing!
Debbie Trammel, Volunteer Services Council and Community Relations, Austin State Hospital

Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence? Author unknown to me.“I believe it is my responsibility (as a person who lives with a serious mental illness) to help others less fortunate than me.” Diana, your message improves the silence and helps to save lives.
Willie Williams of the Austin, Texas Mental Health Task Force

Your candor, intelligence and humor really hit home with your audience today, and I know we are all enthusiastic about further presentations from you for our worker trainees. The discussions about stigma, the life experiences of living with mental illness and also the range of functioning one might experience were all very illuminating.
Jeri Pamp, trainer at Department of Family and Protective Services

I applaud your vision, your courage, your wisdom, and your history! Your words encouraging the NAMI family to ACT as a group for change couldn’t be more important! Keep speaking, please, and know that you are changing the future of many lives that have yet crossed the junction where law enforcement and mental health cross. You are making that a safer junction for officer and citizen alike.
