Kristen

April 10, 2019

Significant childhood trauma and not understanding how to manage what she was feeling, Kristen turned to substance misuse and self-harm to mask the pain. After going to treatment and learning how to replace her negative coping skills with positive ones, Kristen proves it’s never too late or too early to get the help you need.

Jordan

April 10, 2019

Hiding his anxiety and depression behind a mask of “the kid who has it all,” Jordan turned to drinking to cope and eventually attempted to take his life. Today, Jordan is a messenger of hope who teaches that although we can’t choose the things that happen to us, we CAN choose how we cope with them.

Lucas

April 7, 2019

His perfect life and go-with-the-flow attitude in high school did not follow him to college, where Lucas developed depression that became so severe he couldn’t eat. Recovery inspired him to help other teens having the same experience, letting them know there is always hope, and that there is a wonderful life on the other side of depression.

Andrew

As a student-athlete experiencing depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation, Andrew was able to find recovery through psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and positive coping skills.

Jon

April 4, 2019

Expectations in a family of high-achievers fed Jon’s anxiety and led to negative coping skills, substance misuse, and a path of self-destruction. Once receiving treatment and finding healthy coping skills, Jon now teaches others how yoga, mindfulness, and exercise can help overcome stress, anxiety, and depression.
