    Jenny you are so well spoken for. Such a thought leader in the space of mental health. I resonate so deeply with your message. I've had close family members struggle with addiction and mental health, even losing my brother last year. The world needs more STRONG VOICES like you. Thank you for this talk. ❤❤
