Dr. Amador has traveled around the world hosting mental health training programs for family caregivers, peer support specialists, and professionals involved in the care, recovery and safety of persons suffering from serious mental illness. Science-based education, training and other support are used to teach about serious mental illness (SMI), ANOSOGNOSIA (unawareness of illness), and how to more effectively help those suffering from these disorders. The goal: to create relationships that lead to treatment using the LEAP approach.
