Nora Baylerian brings a message of hope. In 1985, Nora was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia. Her best friend, Joanne Verbanic, founder of Schizophrenics Anonymous (SA), now Schizophrenics Alliance, passed away in 2015. Choosing to embrace Joanne’s life vision, Nora, serves as a Deacon at her Armenian Church, she values her loving family and friends, and actively engages with her community. Nora’s work and volunteer positions have brought her much recognition and many awards. Nora believes her strength comes from her support system and believing that she was brought into this world to help others.
