A mother who has adult children living with mental illness.

For me and my family STOPS has been the Hands and Feet of JESUS! Stops has educated me on mental illness. STOPS has prayed for me, held my hand and supported me in some of the darkest days of dealing with my daughters’ mental illness and my uncertainty of will we get through this. STOPS always helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Knowledge is my power. That’s the only way I can survive. That’s the only way I can help someone else. And being apart of STOPS…giving me that knowledge, lets me know that, for the next person, I can pass along that knowledge and to be able to even refer them to STOPS.
