A young person’s descent into mental illness is traumatic for them – and even more so for their parents and family, who feel helpless in the face of their child’s pain. When Kayla’s mother felt that she was out of options, a chance conversation with a friend about a place called KidsPeace began a journey that gave her and her daughter their lives back.
Told in KidsPeace’s Lending My Voice style, “Kayla’s Story” details one family’s journey in overcoming mental health issues and the stigma that surrounds them, fulfilling their desire to share that experience to help other families facing similar challenges.
