There was something really powerful about the “You Are Not Crazy” mental health awareness event hosted by On The Wings of Angels at Chief Financial Credit Union.
The panelists were incredibly brave in sharing their stories and what stood out to me most was the reminder that abuse doesn’t always look the same. Mental. Physical. Verbal. Emotional. Financial. And the person causing the abuse isn’t always who people expect either. It can be a spouse, a family member, a partner, an employer, even a child. Abuse is abuse.
What keeps so many people trapped is the shame, the confusion, the excuses we make to survive it. And over time, if we don’t get help, it impacts our mental health in ways we may not even realize until we’re completely burned out.
One of the most beautiful parts of the event was watching people in the audience stand up and share their own stories while JoJo held space for them with so much compassion. When she puts her arm around you, you genuinely feel safe. Seen. Supported. That’s what she has created with On The Wings of Angels.
If you’re in a situation where you feel confused, ashamed, isolated, or you don’t know what to do next, please visit OnTheWingsOfAngels.org and fill out the survey. You are not crazy. And you do not have to go through it alone.
