Tell us a little bit about you & your journey with mental health? 

“My journey with mental health has had many ups and downs. After my great grandmother passed .. I remember telling myself I’d never be happy again.School seemed hard, friendships seemed hard, lots of things weren’t the same. “

Why do you believe it is important to use our voices to tell our stories? 

“I think people should be open about their situation as long as they are comfortable. Many people everyday struggle with horrible thoughts. Knowing they aren’t alone helps. EVERYLIFE matters! “

“Some tips I’d give to others struggling. Is let family know and try to seek help. It seems hard to talk about it but it really will help. Another thing is don’t be ashamed you aren’t alone .”
