Natasha Medlar presents the fifth of our TRUTH Series; the focus of the fifth segment being discussing Mental Health. In this segment we will hear from numerous diverse, empowering people who will each share their own personal stories on their journey in battling Mental Health. I pray this segment inspires and empowers many people whom come across it and that it also helps give strength to those facing the same or a similar obstacle at present.
“My intentions for all various segments of the TRUTH series is to educate others who may not be aware of such issues, whether it’s because it has never been a challenge they themselves have faced, to educate those whom are aware but choose to ignore the issue/s and lastly to help encourage others in being brave in speaking out. As we know, knowledge is key.” – Natasha

She yearns to give hope and inspiration to those that are living in darkness and through her own journey, wants to set an example that no matter how bad things are, recovery is possible.
