🌸
Welcome to Simple Kindness!
 
I’m so glad you’re here. I founded Simple Kindness in May 2024 to bridge the gap in resources and education around mental health, inspired by the many individuals and families who often lack awareness of available support and how to access services. Together, we can create meaningful change and ensure that no one faces these challenges in isolation.
 
Let’s continue breaking the silence. My advocacy is rooted in a promise to give a voice to those who need it most. The journey started with my own experience as a young adult. At age 20, during my third year of pharmacy school, I faced a difficult period and was diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder. My parents knew little about the illness and suddenly had to support a young adult in the hospital. Over the next decade, we went through numerous hospital stays and worked with care teams to find the right treatment. Through support, faith, compassion, and perseverance, I found strength and hope on my path to recovery. 
 
I hope this starts ongoing, open conversations about mental health, moving past stigma and toward understanding and support for everyone. Many of us have personal or family experiences with mental health issues, and together, we can build a compassionate community where everyone feels seen and heard.
I stand against silence and support uniting for mental health awareness. If you feel comfortable, I encourage you to share your story or tell us how we can support you. 
 
Thank you for being part of this journey toward kindness and understanding.

Love and Light,
