As an advocate, my issue is the fact that there is not enough discussions about the topic of mental illness and stigma prevention towards those in the mental health community and I would like to have your support in bringing these and other mental health related issues and various methods of recovery for those in the community and families who have a loved one who struggles with mental health issues and ways the family can support them in their struggles and recovery and the COVID-19 pandemic has played a large part in the growing problems with those struggling with mental health.

If this crisis is not taken nore seriously and the issues within it are not addressed and taken care of with immediate action, the issues will increase within the community and their families. The members in the community needs your help, your advice as well as your support in helping them recover from their struggles with mental illness and become members of society. That's why you need to act and act now.

The community could use all the support and understanding that you can give them. The stigma of mental health is real and the community and their families need to know that you are out there doing all you can to help them get back to happiness and carig and let them know that they are heard and you are there to support them on the road to recovery. 

Before I got the help that I received in November of 1994,, I was not in a good place in my life. What helped me in my recovery was my attendance at a rehabilitation center in Elizabeth, New Jersey and met others in the community in various groups in the program.

Today, I am currently living in an apartment in Linden, New Jersey and I am currently writing screenplays and novels and talking with my therapist once every two weeks.

Not all people who are struggling with mental health issues are getting the recovery and support they need to become members of society, but I hope that this petition will be the first step in achieving the main goal of this petition.
