One out of every five people struggles with mental illness. Too often, it can feel like a dark secret that isolates those suffering from it. Ignoring it is not an option. As friends and family members, we want to help but don’t know how. If we ourselves are experiencing mental illness, we want to find the way to healing. Special guest Felicia Johnson is the author of the best-selling novel Her, a story of endurance, survival, and finding hope from within. She is also a speaker, child abuse survivor, and mental health advocate with more than 10 years' experience in the mental health field. Johnson is committed to reducing the stigma and isolation of mental illness through community education, youth advocacy, and supporting families.
