Imagine that you’re suffering from a chronic disease that affects your personal and professional life and your overall health including your sleep and diet. This disease is something that has an official diagnosis and can be treated with professional therapy and medication, however people in your community believe that you simply need to “think positively” or “turn your frown upside-down” to feel better. For the one out of every four people living with mental illness in our country, this scenario is often the reality. After a positive experience working through her own mental illness and, Libby Sinclair, a social worker living and working in Waukesha County, decided to expand her role in working with those affected in her community.
