Synopsis
eWomenNetwork member, Julia Sutton, shares her heart-breaking journey about the challenges of being a caregiver to family members who suffer from mental illness including her brother and her son. It has consumed her, and now she is on a mission to eradicate the stigma around childhood mental illness through a children’s book she wrote and the help of a local hospital. Mental illness is invisible to the outside world. Julia says, "You don't go over to someone with cancer and say, 'get over it!' It's not a cast on your arm.." Find out how Julia's world got smaller and smaller after her son was diagnosed with mental illness.
