Before I started working with Twelve 11, I worked for a company that I saw no future at, and I couldn't bring myself to leave. I fell into depression, and I hadn't seen a therapist or counselor in over 6 months. But I believed my story could help others that survived experiences like my own, and I knew I needed help.

Twelve 11 Partners helped me realize that I needed to continue working on myself and my mental health if I was going to get where I wanted to be in life. I found a new therapist after my previous one retired, and I decided to pursue a degree in Psychology myself!

I'd like to say that if I hadn’t partnered with Twelve 11, eventually I would have returned to school, but the truth is that I'm not sure. I believe I would have stayed stuck at the company I was working at because I would not have had the support that only comes from someone who understands and experienced a trauma like yours.

Before joining Twelve 11 Support Group, I had a bad attitude with nowhere to go. Now, I love hearing my own voice. I am proud of myself and how far I’ve gotten in my journey. I see myself owning my own company some day. I am not alone anymore.
