Patient-Created Supper Club

Published Online:5 Aug 2005https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.40.15.00400036

Thank you for publishing the article in the April 15 issue on the Bethesda Beatniks Supper Club, a consumer-run social group for people with serious mental illness.

What a lovely concept, and hooray for the gentleman who decided to form the supper club. Socialization is so important and so vital to good mental health. I was thrilled to read this article!

Georgetown, Ill.

Ms. Martin is the interim president of NAMI-Vermilion County (Illinois) and facilitates a support group for family and friends of individuals with mental illness.
