This week’s Health & Happiness story comes from Shelda Askew, a recovered addict and spokesperson for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Shelda shares her recovery story, her experience of finding hope in prison, and her decision to start helping others once she helped herself. The world seems upside-down right now -- it’s such an important time to practice empathy and connect through storytelling!
