Then I found the Mental Health Accelerator Program.
And everything changed.
From the moment I joined, I felt like I had finally stepped into a space that was built with people like me in mind. The program didn’t just give me information—it gave me access. Access to mentorship, to resources, to supervision I didn’t have to pay for—and most importantly, to people who truly understood me.
My mentor was someone who didn’t make me feel like I had to explain my story—they just got it. They understood the beauty and complexity of balancing culture, caregiving, and career.
