Description

This week, I sat down with my mom, Anne Ferrick. While my mom doesn’t struggle with mental illnesses, she has been one of my main supporters throughout my own mental health journey. Anne shares what it was like growing up in a different time where it was taboo to talk about mental health, and what it was like raising two daughters who struggled with varying mental illnesses.

We Discuss:

• Growing Up In A Time When Mental Health Wasn’t Talked About
• Experiencing Highs And Lows (Everyone Does)
• How Anne Coped
• Being A Support Person For Someone Who Is Struggling
• There’s No Shame In Therapy And Medication
• Help Is Always Available
