Mental health has never been more important than it is now. We must recognize the role mental health plays in our overall well-being and in the value of raising children, as well as our own well-being as parents and individuals. Raising awareness, reducing stigma, and helping those in need receive treatment are vital. As a current Graduate Student pursuing a career in mental health, I am walking for Emotions Matter, an organization I am involved with that works towards the goal of educating individuals, families, and professionals impacted by Borderline Personality Disorder. I aim to support all those affected to create a more meaningful life and recovery.
