I’m so proud that after 5 months of working on this story it’s finally on air. Anyone who knows me knows that starting this piece was a journey to cope with everything that happened to me in 2014 when a loved one became mentally ill. This was a way for me to make sense of the mental health system. I am so lucky to have met people like the Hernandez’s on that journey.
