Meet Moa
Hi! My name is Moa. Shortly after my son's 15th birthday he started to show signs of acute psychosis. He was saying strange things, seemed overwhelmed, failing all of his classes, and not sleeping. One day he finally said something not based on reality that made my heart sink.
I spun into action not knowing what to do, who to talk to, or where to begin. I had no knowledge or experience with mental illnesses. I was shocked by the gaps in access to treatment, the amount of misinformation and stigma for individuals like my son, that continue to create barriers.

Love,
