Lisa Zarcone is the Massachusetts National Ambassador & Regional Director for NAASCA (National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse). She uses her title and personal story as a platform to speak publicly about child abuse and mental health. Lisa is a fierce advocate for child safety and mental health and has written 2 books about abuse, mental illness, and how it’s possible to break the cycle of generational abuse. Her newly released book, “The Book of Joann” is her mother’s story and their journey together.  A look into Joann’s world shows how mental illness and abuse are generational, and without understanding and awareness, we cannot break the cycle.

 

Lisa gained her voice by validating her story while healing through the process. It was a difficult journey, but she dug deep into her past, sifting through the rubble piece by piece. Under it all, Lisa found understanding and forgiveness. Currently, she’s advocating for mental health programming in our schools. Lisa calls herself, “A voice for the voiceless”.

Red light therapy has been a well-documented and researched practice since the 1990’s when NASA introduced red-light emitting diode (LED) devices to help grow potatoes in space. The red light helped to heal the wounds on the hands of the astronauts tending the plants, which was significant since wound healing is usually slowed and impaired in space. From there, red light therapy was introduced as a treatment option for a variety of skin conditions. With further research, the therapy was revealed to provide relief from several chronic disease symptoms, aid in the treatment and prevention of muscular and skeletal injuries and promote overall brain health.
