Let's remove the misconception, stigma, and shame.
I have been an educator since 1998 and a therapist since 2010. I want to talk to and teach anyone who is ready to help remove the stigma from mental health. Let's have an open dialogue about mental health stigma and how it hurts our society, the relationship between mental and physical health, and the misclassification of mental health. How do we remove access to care barriers for vulnerable communities? Increase resources? Connect people with exceptional resources? Create an environment that embraces mental health that reduces shame and refuses to act in judgement?

About My Research
What can we do to promote mental wellness in organizations? Faith-based organizations? How can the spiritual model and medical model coexist to meet the needs of all people? Strategies that are necessary for all, are critical for individuals who are struggling with their mental health. I conducted an original research study as the requirement to earn my Ph.D. The focus of the study was to determine the perceived role of faith leaders' in mental health promotion in impoverished communities. It starts at the head! As a result of my research, I developed an 8-step framework to help faith-based organizations (adaptable to all organizations) embrace mental health and begin to implement mental health promotion activities. STAY TUNED!
