Rogers InHealth Wears Lime Green Shoes in Support of Brandon Marshall's Recent Decision

OCONOMOWOC, Wis., Nov. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Directors and friends of Rogers InHealth recently stepped out in lime green shoes to send a message of support to Brandon Marshall, the Chicago Bears wide receiver who was fined $10,500 for wearing lime green shoes last month. In light of last night's Bears/Packers game, the move seemed especially timely.

"Marshall is an example of someone who is successfully living in recovery from borderline personality disorder," Sue McKenzie, co-director of Rogers InHealth, said. "He wore lime green shoes to draw attention to Mental Illness Awareness Week last month. Even knowing he'd be fined was not a deterrent. We feel that took courage, and we celebrate his decision. So, too, Rogers InHealth does its part to reduce the stigma of mental illness through shared video stories of those living in recovery. We want people to know recovery is possible through accessible, coordinated and person-centered care."

Rogers InHealth supports those living with mental illness through testimonial videos of everyday people living in recovery. The corporation has produced a video library featuring the stories of those living with a mental disorder, including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders and more. 

A key corporation of Rogers Behavioral Health System, Rogers InHealth creates and distributes video stories of recovery to increase understanding, hope and supportive action by people with mental illness and addiction, their friends and family, professionals and the general public. Through key initiatives to promote effective stigma reduction practices, Rogers InHealth provides collaborative leadership in the quest to eliminate the stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination that make up the stigma of mental health.
