Biography
I grew up in alcoholism and mental health challenges and the stigma around those issues. I didn’t want to seek help because, of the stigma it brought. Until eventually it was too painful and I had no choice, it was life or death. I know that sounds dramatic but that’s how I felt. I needed to find someone whom I could trust and speak to freely without feeling judged and know I would feel heard. It wasn’t until then, and only then would I felt safe to open up and receive the help.
