The Problem
Defeating the stigma that surrounds mental illness and eliminating the negative judgment and disrespect shown to those who suffer from a mental illness.
Plan of Action
I will continue my involvement in many different mental health organizations and push the need for more education in schools. I need to find more funding so we can continue teaching the youth and even adults about mental health. I also plan to finish my memoir to hopefully inspire others to keep believing, continue sharing my story in schools and at conferences to encourage people to accept others for who they are and not label them, and also hope to finish my documentary following my life with OCD and also continue acting. My next role happens to be a part in the suicide prevention film, "Power of Purpose" and I am 100% behind this movie!
