Why I Wrote This Book

This book was born from heartbreak—and transformed into hope.

After the tragic loss of my son Avery to suicide after a struggle with depression, I found myself navigating unimaginable grief. But from that pain came purpose. Becoming a Mental Health Champion is the story of how I turned personal loss into public advocacy, how I chose to speak up when silence was easier, and how I learned to lead others through mental health challenges with compassion, courage, and clarity.

This book is for every parent, coach, friend, or colleague who has ever wondered what they could do to help someone in crisis.
