Sarah, what made you decide to share you mental health story?

Shared Strength Support Series
We are hosting a fundraiser in honor of Sarah’s birthday benefitting Wellbeing Connection, the nonprofit she co-founded that brings mental health resources, education, and support to our community.
It was 2020 when a donation came in with a directive: make mental health a priority in New Albany. Sarah heard the call, saw the need, and believed in the power of connecting people to resources that help them thrive, not just survive.
For Sarah, it was also a chance to look deeply at her own lifelong journey with mental illness and addiction. To create programming that she needed when she was a teenager. To create safe spaces for people to share their stories so others know they are not alone.
Sarah gets it. No one can grasp exactly what it’s like to be you—but Sarah understands the fight, and she’s always ready to be in this one with you.
