So, I am starting something new. Stepping out of my comfort zone... again. I am going to start doing this blog thing here. When I started my journey going back to school, and the step forward to create SU4R, my goal has always been to educate and motivate. I want to use this tool as a platform to share bits of ideals that can relate to our mental health and what affects the way we react and behave. I may have knowledge, but I am anything but an expert... who has an expensive piece of paper that I will be paying for for the rest of my life.

I want this part to be interactive. What do you want to discuss, share, read about? This part is for you, all of this is for you. I know a lot of mental health presentations provide the same information, but I want to deliver what you feel is missed when hearing about mental health. What questions do you have or experiences that just don't fit your mold or make you feel like your problems and feeling aren't valid.

My reasoning behind starting SU4R to begin with was for you. I want to educate and motivate. I want to provide support in a way that is a different approach than what is typically found with peer support, while still being a peer. I want SU4R to be vulnerable and real. We all hold a narrative that can benefit another person; possibly even save their life. I will lead by example. I will share information about relevant topics or experiences; they may or may not be about me or someone else's issues, but confidence will always be held that identities will not be revealed. I will share knowledgeable information that others share and give credit where credit is due. Developing SU4R is not all about me, it's about standing up for others. Contact me. Let me know how I can stand up for you.

Be Vigilant.

Stay Safe!
