Raised in a rural town in Ohio, Janelle had a happy and
healthy childhood with a loving family. Her life was turned upside down
however, when her brother died by suicide. Her parents did everything
they could to keep life as normal as possible but in spite of their
extraordinary care, Janelle struggled to cope. As a young adult Janelle
experienced clinical depression while battling the inevitable changes of adult life
as well as trying to make sense of her brother's death. Janelle's
powerful and focused program educates audiences about family suicide,
depression, and the biological factors associated with mental health disorders.
She is a courageous survivor and communicates the messages of wellness in
a truly unique way. Janelle works full time in health care sales in Nevada.

Barry Schreier, Director of University of Connecticut Counseling and Mental Health Services and Advisor for UConn Active Minds says:

"My strong message to counseling center directors is to either start a chapter or contact your current chapter and form a close alliance between Active Minds and the campus counseling center. This alignment allows for close collaboration not only on the variety of campus mental health issues, but on the framing and messaging of these issues."
