After losing family members by suicide, and having her worst-ever bout of depression, Terry dedicated herself to using her broadcast news background to bring stories of "lived experience" to others still in depression's darkness. Terry founded the non-profit Giving Voice to Mental Illness, Inc. and launched the weekly Giving Voice to Depresson podcast. She has also posted daily for the past four years across social media platforms to remind people they are not alone and that help is available.
