Jill's Story

DBSAlliance

In late December, Jill, a mother of seven children, including a 15-year-old living with a mood disorder, took the time to talk with a DBSA staff member about her family’s journey with mental health. This 25-minute discussion included how Jill learned what her child needed, her personal coping skills, and her hopes for the mental health community. Throughout this discussion, Jill conveyed her wish that families have hope that things can get better.
