“I joined the board of Psychology For All because as a young teenager I survived a civil war in my home country, Liberia, West Africa, and saw the impact of that experience on mental and emotional health. Over three decades later, I have observed that the most lasting and harsh impact of the war on survivors remains mental health challenges. My experience left me with the conviction that mental and emotional wellness are critical to a well-lived life. I am grateful for the opportunity PFA gives me to help address the needs of under-resourced people in our community."
