“My job is to get me out of a job, because all I’m doing is providing you tools so that you know how to handle this life and think differently.” —Maria
Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) is observed the first week of October to raise awareness of mental illnesses, fight discrimination, and provide support.
We interviewed Clinical Therapist and former California-based Prison Fellowship(R) Prison Ministry Manager Maria Amaya, who has worked with people both inside and outside of prison, in hopes of learning more and raising awareness on mental health.
In observance of MIAW, we are sharing this resource article, A Different Way of Thinking: Mental Health and Incarceration, that can also be shared with friends and loved ones who are dealing with the impacts of incarceration.
