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.
