Our stories are proof that you are not alone, and that with the right support, it gets better
"Asking for help & getting the support I needed started my turnaround when I faced my own mental health challenges. As a peer mentor, I want to help others get through the tough parts, overcome fears & build resilience, so they can live the life they want."
- Danny, Peer Specialist, PAWell
“Starting weekly therapy sessions was the best thing I ever did. While I still have anxiety, it’s no longer all-consuming. I can sleep at night. My relationships, my job – everything is better. I’ve learned strategies for managing my stressors, and I’m able to go about my life the way I want to.”
- Mili on her experiences with anxiety
"With my own lived experience as well as my professional background in social work, I am familiar with both the receiving and providing ends of treatment. So, I value the importance of supporting others through shared experiences & aim to ensure you feel heard and be seen.
- Kim, Peer Specialist, PAWell
"When I was 19, I became overwhelmed with stress and was failing my classes. With the encouragement of my friends & family, I saw a doctor. Thanks to the treatment I received, I was able to continue school & today I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner, helping young people get the support they need."
- Carlos on his experiences as a college student
"Before I found support, I went through a really tough period in my journey. But thanks to my therapist and a whole bunch of awesome resources, I was able to put things in perspective and rediscover who I was."
