Thoughts from our Peer Support Specialists

It has been a joy and an honor being able to work there and to be a listening ear for those that need it. I have met so many wonderful people who have the same goals about bringing awareness to mental health that I do. I am constantly looking forward to the future of Sean’s House and all the amazing things that we will do!

Being a mental health advocate is part of who I am. It is important to me because mental health is an integral part of my overall health and I think the more you know about mental health the better off you will be. I want to use my knowledge about mental health to empower others on their mental health journey.
