Challenges of Mental Healthcare
Tipper relates how her personal experiences inspired her life-long journey as a champion for those suffering from mental disorders. She continues to work toward removing the stigma, and helps guide the audience to an understanding that mental health is simply one aspect of our total health rather than a separate disorder.
