While the mental health crisis can seem overwhelming, it’s important to remember that small steps in the right direction help make a positive impact. People willing to face the issue head-on and create moments that make change are assisting individuals with mental disorders to find answers. That’s what this story is about- those little moments that add to life-altering events and ideas.
