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 medical sales and lives in Columbus, Ohio.

"It is so important to reach that hand out to someone when
he or she is feeling down or provide an ear so someone's story can be heard. Active Minds is more than just another
student organization- it's a community of people who are dedicated to mental
health outreach."
