Voyage Jacksonville: Daily Inspiration: Meet Sheryl Johnson
Today we’d like to introduce you to Sheryl Johnson.
Hi Sheryl, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hearts 4 Minds began on the first anniversary of the loss of our son, Alex. It started as our way to honor a life lost too soon and make changes to improve the likelihood of a positive treatment outcome for those impacted by mental illness. We lost Alex at only 22 years old after he lost his battle with depression and anxiety. But we know that Alex’s story could have been different. In our journey to try to help Alex, we faced barriers like stigma, access to resources, being shut out of his care, and uncertainty around a complex disease. We knew nobody should lose a loved one simply because they didn’t have the tools to help them.
