Brianna

As a child, Brianna suffered trauma due to abuse. By age 11, she showed psychological symptoms, from hearing voices to lashing out in anger. Her mother took her to a counselor at Catholic Charities’ Medina County Mental Health Services, and healing began. “At first, I defended myself and didn’t want to be there. But my counselor listened. She didn’t say I was wrong or blame me.” At 19, Brianna’s anger issues are gone. “Catholic Charities counseling is the reason I'm the person I am today. I needed someone who'd listen and give helpful advice, even when I was filled with hurt. I had no faith or hope, but she made sure I knew I had love.”
