A beautiful story about recovery. Jade was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder at 16, earlier than most doctors are willing to diagnose. She went  to doctor after doctor, therapist after therapist, inpatient and outpatient treatment. Right as she was preparing to end her own suffering, she met someone who changed her entire life in ways she could not have imagined.

Since her recovery, she's been devoting her life to those who feel as lost and hopeless as she was. Jade is now a mental health coach, who uses her personal experience in recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, and anxiety, to help those struggling to learn and use coping skills and manage their lives with mastery.  She is training people in DBT Skills, pairing with individuals and treatment professionals to provide support and accountability on the recovery journey.⁣
