Working in the mental health field is not easy. I worked with children who were exposed to certain things that I didn’t even know existed. They came from broken homes or experience a trauma resulting in behavioral/mental health problems. I have a passion for understanding why people act the way they do, and every story deserves to be told. So, I decided to take my love for writing and desire for mental health to combine and create Helpful Living Magazine. My mission is to promote mental health and Helpful Living Magazine is on the path to help individuals, families, and communities understand the importance of mental illness, one issue at a time.
