As an advocate for mental health, Tanisha shares her personal experiences with therapy in handling the trauma from her son's time in NICU and recent losses in her family.
She highlights the importance of mental health resources, including therapy, particularly for those dealing with loss and trauma. Tanisha encourages others to seek help if they need it, mentioning support groups and applications such as Better You and Better Help being invaluable in her own journey.
