As a parent, literacy educator, former teacher, and advocate for mental health treatment using natural remedies, I have experienced burnout from trying to do too much.

When our hearts are pure, and our agenda is aligned with our creator, healthy boundaries must be in place to continue following our purpose. Proper self-care must take place to grow, prosper and thrive. We need positive interventions with families/friends to heal properly.

I am NOT a supporter of the ill-equipped, burned-out, government-employed social workers; although there are some very good ones, it’s the broken system. It’s not their fault, but the system itself needs profound change.

What if all they need is to know their Higher Power, God, Christ…

I may sound “religious” to some, but it is not. It is about TRUSTING the PROCESS of RECOVERY.

What if we STOPPED labeling people “addicts”, “space-cadets”, “ADHD”, “Maniacs” etc…
