Annie Slease is the Cofounder and CEO of the Mental Health Literacy Collaborative. She joins This Helps to share her journey from teaching English and directing musicals to becoming a national advocate for mental health education. She opens up about her family's experiences, her own late-in-life diagnosis, and how writing helped her move through stigma toward connection. Together, we talk about making prevention exciting, how language shapes stigma, and the movement to make mental health literacy part of every school curriculum.
