FACE Mental Illness

Lynn Alcock

Lynn Alcock went back to school at the age of 48. You might think this courageous. What you may find more courageous is how before returning to the classroom, she first overcame her battle with depression. By seeking counselling and the support of her friends and family, Lynn saw the chance and need to change her life’s path – to leave an unhealthy work environment and answer the call she felt to help others. Now a counsellor herself, Lynn says “I have control over my life, and that control comes from taking care of myself.” FACE IT. Mental illness concerns us all.
