I organized a pride event to show support to the LGBTQIA+ community in my town and provide resources.
Empath Stereotypes Redefined
Lancaster, MA
United States
I spend my time helping others who are newly diagnosed with chronic illness navigate their new world of doctors, disability, and isolation. I do everything possible to support those who are dangerously depressed, and I work to break down prejudice toward disability and invisible illness.
I am constantly struggling with the issues listed above myself. I would like people to know that those of us who can't work still do good things - and we would KILL to be able to work.
I volunteered as a hotline counselor at the Worcester Suicide Prevention Center.
Great cause that is important (breaking stereotypes!) and happy to support creative thought leaders and activist artists!
I've helped many friends deal with some issues. I've been told that 10 minutes with me is better than a 45 minute therapy session because I listen to them.
I volunteered at my local farmer's market providing art making activities to children.
I am an art therapist who works with adults who were abused and neglected as children trauma has affected my life and has impacted being in relationships throughout my life and I love being able to help others heal through art and the connections I build with them in counseling.

Each day, I do my best to use perspective in any situation I'm in. The world would be more peaceful if we realized we are all the same but living it up differently.

Making everybody laugh.
Spent my life fighting for economic justice. But one of my favorite deeds was winning a court battle for a woman in Tennessee to change the last name of her triplets to hers from the name of the father. The father wouldn't pay child support but would pay for a lawyer to fight the name change! And the mother worked three jobs to support her kids.
