I wrote Her to make people feel something enough to want to talk about mental illness, because that's the only way we're going to get rid of the stigma absolutely.
Ever feel like mental illness is a dark secret that isolates those who suffer from it? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', host Anna Shouse sits down with Felicia Johnson, a mental health advocate, author, and survivor, to shed light on this often-taboo topic. Johnson's bestselling novel, 'Her', tells a powerful story of endurance and hope, and she brings that same energy to her advocacy work.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, Johnson is dedicated to reducing the stigma and isolation surrounding mental illness through community education and youth advocacy. She shares her personal journey, emphasizing the healing power of writing and the importance of validation in supporting recovery, especially for kids. Johnson passionately believes that open conversations about mental illness are crucial for breaking the stigma.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on mental health and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
