I have the pleasure of introducing the board of SeizingPsych - meet Kristan Kanyuch, Co-Founder & Executive Director.
As a caregiver who has navigated her son’s schizophrenia diagnosis and recovery, Kristan leads with lived experience, so families never have to face mental illness alone.

Lots of people asking about who has co-sponsored the articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. w/ @rephaleystevens.bsky.social. The answer is Rep. Eric Swalwell.
This is why we need people power NOW.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.
