The Problem

1 in 5 people experience a mental health condition and yet it is rarely talked about and frequently stigmatized and discriminated against. Few people realize how common mental health conditions are and that recovery is possible through treatment. It is because of this discrimination and stigma that people with mental illness are seen as violent and unstable, making those struggling afraid to speak out and seek help.

Plan of Action

Throughout my diagnosis and treatment I have been writing and have completed a book with my mom that will be published by St. Martin's Press. Along with the book I have traveled the nation speaking, telling my story and educated people about mental illness and bipolar disorder. I have worked with major mental health organizations to spread awareness, respond to help requests and promote mental wellness. I have also used online mediums to spread the word and educate and inspire others to start a conversation or get the strength to share their own story and experiences.
