Mikaela was a guest speaker at The Diamond's
House Youth Conference in Portsmouth. She is a teen speaker for suicide
prevention and talks about her struggles with PTSD and depression. It
was an amazing day, and after her talk we were amazed at the number of
people both kids and adults that were truly touched by her story. She
was also asked to participate in other upcoming events, and met a lot of
wonderful people.

depression.
Mikaela was the Guest Speaker at The Girl
Power United panel discussion. After her talk a young girl came up to
her and told her how much Mikaela's talk meant to her and how she has
also battled depresson. It is truly amazing how much our words can mean
to someone else. With every struggle you survive you gain strength to
battle the next one.
