Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am a residential director of a locked residential program for adolescent trauma victims. My daily role is to help these adolescents be more than their mental health diagnosis. I encourage them to say, "I struggle with cutting" rather than "I am a cutter." Changing their language is healing and powerful and has the power of transformation! They are incredible young adults with incredible futures and I'm honored to work with them.

Why are you participating?

I think the project is an amazing idea and encourages people to revive the sense of community.. Care about others as we want to be cared for!
