Mental Health Awareness

PARTS 1, 2, and 3 of this series are Below.

Growing up with Tourette Syndrome taught me a few things about managing my mental health. Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and May 15-June 15 is Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month, I have decided to do a four-part video series about how to increase your resilience.

Years ago, when I began speaking on growing up and living with Tourette Syndrome, I quickly learned that many people in my audiences were dealing with “overwhelming” challenges of their own. By sharing my struggles, it helped me overcome my feelings of embarrassment (from the tics I suffered from) and gave me a connection with everyone in the room that had never been there before.

Due to the situations that Covid has created for many people - quarantine, loneliness, depression, inability to work, anxiety, and more - it has become clear to me that mental health issues need to be normalized. No one should ever feel shame for struggling with a mental health issue.

I honestly believe that we just need to talk about it more. It needs to be out there for the world to see. Those of us who deal with mental health issues need to plant both of our feet firmly in the ground, plant our flag, and proudly take a stand for who we are. Only when more of us make it a part of everyday conversation will the stigma begin to vanish.

So here you go. This is me talking about living with Tourette Syndrome and sharing some of the tools that I learned on how to increase your/my resilience. God bless you.
