More Than Psychosis with Maddy of #MentalHealthWizard

In today's conversation, we meet Maddy. She is a mental health advocate whose experiences with Psychosis during the Covid pandemic led her to not only advocate for herself, her own wellbeing, and her road to recovery. This time also inspired her to create her own peer support organization, Mental Health Wizard, where she knows that peer support is the key to suicide prevention. And this all inspired her to go back to school and pursue her education in Counseling. We're so happy to talk with Maddy today, and we thank her for taking the time to talk with us.
