Hello Gregg ~

Elevator speeches are supposed to be like 30 seconds or less, right? So if
this is an elevator at a peer support conference, I might say something
like:

"You know how it seems like a lot of people are diagnosed with mental
health issues, and sometimes mental health services make them better and
sometimes worse, and the diagnosis itself can be really confusing and keep
changing? And how no one seems to agree on the best form of therapy a lot
of the time? And you know how a lot of people that we work with seem to
have trouble finding meaning in their life, and even when they are told
that they've 'recovered' from mental illness they still suffer? Well, the
Unified Theory of Knowledge really looks at the roots of these problems. It
turns out that we don't really even know what things like 'mind' and
'behavior' are, and helping clarify all that can lead to a more reasonable,
kind, human-centered way to look at what we call 'mental health.' This
requires a much better structure for understanding the mind than we've had
before, and that's what UTOK gives us."

I might throw in "holistic" as well, but that could lead to some thinking
that UToK is an essential oil-based system.

Anyway, that's for a peer support, non-clinician perspective. They often
don't have a ton of schooling, but are intensely skeptical of the mental
health field on an instinctive level..

Best,
R
