Shanae Witherspoon

My reason for becoming involved with the Starr project is to help shed light on mental illness as well as to bring understanding to those who may suffer from mental illness. For me, joining the Starr team is personal due to me having moderate anxiety and being directly affected by the result of loved ones not knowing or understanding the feelings or emotions they we’re experiencing that lead to suicide. As a recent graduate from a Mental Health masters program I desire to use my skill and expertise to build and maintain positive relationships with individuals who are seeking alternate options in life. My goal on the Starr project team is to hopefully led others in the direction of life and hope.

I am also willing to reach out to and service the Deaf/HoH population
