Sarah is studying toward her Associate degree in AODS with plans to continue her education to pursue a career in mental health. Growing up, feelings were something you pushed to the side and kept going, doing whatever needed to be done. As she got older, Sarah discovered that there is freedom in allowing herself to feel, acknowledge, and work through emotions. Sarah believes that mental health is such an important part of our overall well-being. As a peer mentor, she wants to help students find the resources and support they need, especially those in recovery. She believes there are so many things we can recover from, and hopes to use what she has learned through her own journey to help others feel supported, heard, and understood.
