From Suffering in Silence to Speaking Out

My name is Lauren Mendelsohn and I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2020. I am the host of Our Strength Within. Over the course of this podcast I’d like to bring you along on this journey. I want to bring comfort to those going through something similar, share awareness about epilepsy and other invisible illnesses and shed light on the stresses brought to caregivers.In this episode I interview my colleague Jamisha, who has suffered through domestic violence. We discuss her journey as well as the important support system that ultimately led her away from that experience.If you or anyone you know is suffering with DV, you have a voice! Call the DV hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or in an emergency call 911.
