Erik Wright was sexually assaulted when he was a young boy and at 10, he attempted to take his own life. Erik, who is now 26, has suffered the loss of several friends to suicide. But Erik knows he was put on this earth for a reason and despite his mental health struggles, he has courageously shared his story in an effort to help others. I was instantly moved by Erik the first time I had a FaceTime call with him and since then we have become close friends who talk on a daily basis. We have built a deep connection through our mental health stories and I hope some of you reach out to Erik as he will inspire you like he did me. Everyone has a story and I hope you enjoy Erik's.
