about chipur

chipur is an extension of Hope and Healing Dynamics, an emotional and mental health education and recovery organization founded and operated by Bill White.

chipur’s mission is to provide educational information, as well as powerful and efficacious recovery strategies and techniques, to those enduring emotional and mental distress; particularly depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. We also want to reach out to family members and friends, as well as emotional and mental health professionals and students. Hope, empathy, respect, education, sharing, and healing are foundational in our effort.

After a winning battle with panic disorder, generalized anxiety, depression, and alcoholism; as well as a career in the business world and a part-time job working with socially challenged adolescents – Bill found his life’s passion and work. So he earned his master’s and counseling credentials and is doing all he can to help others having a tough time.

The evolution of Bill’s passion is grounded in his emotional and mental health history. Absolutely, he at one time believed hope and healing were only fantasies. And in the midst of taking a self-inflicted emotional, mental, and physical beating; he swore if he ever got out of the mess he was in he’d help others do the same.

Well, with tons of hard work and drive – and the love and support of his son, daughter, mom, dad, and brother – Bill accomplished and has sustained his recovery.

Hope and Healing Dynamics actually began ten years ago when Bill wrote the first draft of his panic and anxiety education and recovery eWorkbook, Panic! …and Poetic Justice. He began blogging in the Spring of 2009, and the effort has transitioned into chipur.

In addition to doing psychiatric emergency work, Bill continues to do a lot of writing and speaking. He’s conducted numerous emotional and mental health workshops and is available for future engagements. Bill is a member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (N.A.M.I.). He resides in the suburbs of Chicago where he enjoys time with his two incredible teenage children.

Straight from Bill…

Please know way down deep in your heart that you will recover from your troubling circumstances if that’s what you decide to do. And only you can make that decision. Whether your immediate situation is based in biology, psychology, or any combination of the two; it doesn’t much matter at this point.

See, we’ve all been dealt a hand. Some are seemingly smokin’ good, and some perceptually not so hot. But that’s just the way it is, and all of us have to play our cards the best we can as we move forward.

So, yes, recovery is truly a matter of personal choice. And when the decision is made to assertively move ahead, all of the strength and insight you’ll need to come out on top will be right at your fingertips. No doubt about it.

Recovery has to be something you want so badly you can taste it. And, believe me, the taste will be ever so sweet.

And never forget,  chipur is always here for you. That’s just what we do…

Please feel free to drop me a line…

Bill
