Breaking Barriers in Mental Health feat Michelle Dickinson | FMP #6

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Michelle E. Dickinson is a passionate mental health advocate, a TEDx speaker, and a published author of a memoir entitled Breaking Into My Life. After years of playing the role of caregiver to her bipolar mother, Michelle embarked on her own healing journey of self-discovery. Her memoir offers a rare glimpse into a young girl’s experience living with—and loving—her bipolar mother. Michelle spent years working to eradicate the mental health stigma within her own workplace by elevating compassion, causing more open conversations, and leading real change in how mental illness is understood in the workplace.

Michelle also knows first-hand what it feels like to struggle with a mental illness after experiencing her own depression due to a divorce just a few years ago. Michelle recently concluded her 19-year pharmaceutical career and became an entrepreneur. She partners with HR leaders and business owners to elevate compassion in the workplace and boost psychological resilience to empower staff and elevate engagement. Michelle is deeply committed to positively impacting the mental health landscape and ending the suffering in silence dynamic that prevents so many from getting care.
