Letter From The Editor

Awareness. We all know what it is, yet most of us lack it where it is most important. Not many people find awareness in mental illness is important. They think that the doctors, counselors, and psychologists take care of it all. Have you ever stopped and realized that maybe they cant be the only ones trying to fix this problem. They need help from us all as humans. To help those in need. To be a shoulder to cry on. Or simply be strong for those that are weak. We all are humans and it is in our nature to help those in need and we should fulfill that nature. Mental illness is an area that lacks not only awareness but proper information as well. My goal for this magazine is to provide those things, but starting on a much smaller base. Just like recovery from a mental illness takes time, so does bring awareness. I hope you enjoy.
