Having free, safe, open spaces makes all the difference in our lives to know that we can freely speak what's on our mind free of judgement. It is extremely important for us to be able to find those spaces. Here I interviewed Michael Scholtles and he discuses his own journey on being able to find that space in his faith.

Being okay with our diagnosis and getting to a doctor to even be diagnosed is the first place is one of the most crucial pieces in our mental health journey. If we do not know what is going on with us, it makes it that much harder to figure out what it is that we need and how we can obtain help.
