Celebration:

Congratulations to Lyn Legere, the Transformation Center's Director of of Education and Peer Support, who just received the Friends Voices for Rehabilitation & Recovery's Annual Marie Balter Award.

Lyn clearly exemplifies the spirit of Marie Balter who spent many years as a patient at Danvers State Hospital, but refused a lifetime confined to a back ward. Marie went on to graduate from Harvard and come back to Danvers as a nurse who inspired many patients in their recovery. Marie's autobiography, Nobody's Child, and the movie with the same name starring Marlo Thomas has been a beacon of hope for thousands of people with mental health conditions.

Lyn is tenacious in her work to improve the mental health system and use her lived experience to teach and inspire other peers in their recovery.
