Pro Bono Service Available
My goal is to create a healthier society where people have increased awareness and less stigma toward mental health challenges. Mental health issues can affect all of us, our loved ones, our neighbours, our family and friends. This effect ripples through one's immediate surroundings and into the community. By seven degrees of separation, it affects everyone in the world. But together, we can fight against mental health issues and stigma to protect what we value the most. Reach out today.
