Mental Health Resource Hub

 

I’ve been talking mental health and wellness for a long time. I can’t possibly compile all the resources I’ve EVER shared since 2013 – mostly because so many have been live conversations and social media posts – but I’ll use this page to host the honest conversations, videos, and articles I’ve created and been a part of and will create moving forward.

I started this work because I was once a young millennial Latina navigating mental health issues blindly. Growing up in the 2000s and early 2010s, mental health resources and conversations came slim to none, not to mention I grew up in a typical Caribbean household where topics of “anxiety” and “depression” weren’t welcome. After coming to terms with my disorders and their treatment, I knew that I had a void to fill. I’ve treaded through [what’s often felt like] fire to post my guts online so I could help anyone that needed to hear a story like mine, so if you feel like anything here helps you, please shoot me a note and let me know, or even better…share it with the world.
