It has been a difficult journey. I've realized through my own experiences and representing my clients in criminal and civil cases how much of a need there is for better understanding of mental health issues in our community. I wish I did not feel depressed every now and again. But I don't control it. On the outside one may look and think to themselves how can that be? Mental health issues are as REAL as physical health issues and, in our society today the need for understanding is more than ever. It is my goal to be able to reach as many people as I can with this organization.
I was born in Houston, Texas. My family immigrated here in the 70s. In 1992, when I was 7, my dad decided to take us back to Iran. At age 17, I moved back to the States to go to school. Ultimately, I graduated from law school and started my own practice.
I left all of my family and friends behind when I left Tehran. Since then I have struggled to BELONG.
I strongly believe that a big part of getting through mental health issues is by connecting with others who are similarly situated and talking about our feelings.
And so, I've recognized that the power of LOVE is the only thing that is going to be able to get us through this short amount of time that we live on this planet. The LOVE of ourselves, the LOVE of our family, the LOVE of our neighbors, the LOVE for humanity, the LOVE for understanding, the LOVE of purpose, and the LOVE of helping each other.
Providing mental health services for those in need is critical for our society to function. We help people who cannot afford mental health care with the money they need to make sure they receive the care they need.
We provide more awareness and understanding of mental health issues in our community by having mental health professionals and superhuman's talk about their experiences.
Our community is full of people who want to help. We work to help the people providing services with the people who need them. Come connect with people in new ways.
