Erin, a junior at Windham High School in New Hampshire, began her mental health journey at age thirteen when she struggled with self-harm, suicidal thoughts and was exhausted by the feeling of watching herself live her life. Luckily, her homeroom teacher recognized that something wasn’t right and, by intervening, got her to speak openly for the first time about her struggles, enter an inpatient care program and begin the journey to healing and better balancing her brain. Today, her goal in advocacy is to show people that you can be strong and still feel really big feelings. She and her cousin Amy Murphy won the people’s choice award in the Magnify Voices Expressive Arts Contest for their video “Dear Younger Me,” which aims to show everyone that life is worth living and it does, in fact, get better.Contact Us: Email: [email protected]: @brushcreekthriversFacebook: From Survivor to Thriver
