January is all about new beginnings, setting goals, and chasing dreams. It is also about reflection and thinking about how you are going to make this year your best one yet. This week was a perfect example of that, where we paused, stopped, and reflected while at Shore House, an organization that caters to helping people who are fighting mental illness get back into the workforce. Marissa toured their safe space and was introduced to the members and their proud community. Immediately, she was called “the resume lady” as she sat and talked to a group of people who have struggled with their past, but who are looking to create a brighter future (sounds just like all of us). Marissa reminded her audience to not be fooled- we are all fighting our own battles, we all must try to draw from our own experiences, and all desire to chase our own dreams. And for that reason, career searchers and dream chasers, we are ALL the same. Mental illness should not be a stigma; it takes all of us working as one to come together and light up the dark. What we need to do now is to raise awareness- for mental illnesses, suicide prevention, and ending stigmas. Take a look at Shore House’s website and see how you can help today.
