Peer Wellness Support
Individual coachingGetting the support you need around your mental health
There is more to life than work life balance. We are in desperate need of mental health balance. Our physical and mental health are important to our daily lives. We will discuss the 8 dimensions of wellness and discover where the balance is needed. This can help with depression, anxiety, PMDD, PTSD, etc. You will not be fixed because you are not broken. Although, together we can discover an action plan that works for your lifestyle. Let’s connect and start this peer journey together because together we learn from one another.

About The Host
My name is Teána (T-ahna) and as a mother, Black woman and DV survivor I know that I can be my own worst critic. My healing journey has brought me a long way and I now know I am worthy. Realizing that has helped heal the little girl in me who did not think she would ever be worthy. Growing up around addiction, imprisonment, and adults that did not keep me safe has taught me to use my lived experience to not only encourage myself but others as well. I can now say I am on an amazing journey of discovery as a Black woman that has been able to face her trauma and mental health diagnosis with radical acceptance. Before I had ever heard of a peer supporter I had been in that role for majority of my life and never put a name to it. I now know that individuals around me are not the only ones who deserve to be supported, I had to learn to support myself emotionally and uphold boundaries that cater to a healthy mental state of being. My faith made me realize I had to, if I wanted to be a good mother to my children who had now received their mental health diagnosis. The peer support community has given me the strength I need to learn to thrive and not merely survive. What is still missing from our community is more parent support around our own mental health diagnosis and parenting children with mental health diagnosis. As well as the topic of PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) because it is a diagnosis that is underrated. I would love to provide support for peers around these topics and any topic where I can meet you where you are. If you are reading my profile, I look forward to connecting with you soon.
