I sit down with my Dad to discuss what it was like to see his child suffering from mental illness. Between conversations about the difficult decision to send me away, as a parent, not knowing how to help me, and what is different now in our family, this episode is aimed to give parents reassurance that you're doing the best you can and for kids to understand what it's like to be a parent in the toughest of times.

She Persisted is the reminder that someone else has been there too and your inspiration to live your life worth living.
