This project is simple, I’m asking people questions regarding ways mental health has impacted their lives, whether it be personal or a friend or family. This is Jay’s contribution.

“Just as the pandemic hit about two years ago now, my mom was going through a bit of a rough time so usually like, me and my family - we’re very independent, but I realized seeing my mom go through that, it really made me rethink everything. To just be there for her and actually like… like as an adult to actually learn to take care of my mother as she took care of me. Just seeing her down, not because of anything bad in her life, it was just emotional drain she was going through. So being there for her as a support system was something that I never experienced before - to help someone else. So that was an impactful thing relating to mental health that I experienced.”
