My Story…

Hey, It's Stephanie! Since I was a young girl, I've always felt a need to help or give back to others. When I found out my brother was diagnosed with Mental Illness in 2004, I didn't know much about what he was experiencing or how to help him, but I did know that I wanted to help. Through my education, what I discovered was that mental illness affects 1 in 4 people (think about it... 1 in 4 people). It doesn’t discriminate--affecting all classes, all ages, all races, all genders, all socioeconomic status’. It not only affects the individual with the diagnosis, but it greatly affects their family and friends. The truth is, it affects all of us. Yet, people refuse or are ashamed to seek help because of stigma. And, so, my journey of learning and educating others about mental illness began with a need to help my brother and has led me to where I am today-- helping over 200+ people in our community who are striving for better mental health. On a daily basis, I'm fortunate enough to work with a team who wants to help improve the lives of others and each other, and, ultimately, help improve our society as a whole. At Compeer, we believe that relationships matter and that one caring friend or mentor can be life-altering. Today, I ask that you please help me in my lifelong journey of bringing happiness, peace, and friendship to the individuals we serve, for a better tomorrow.
