Thank you so much for listening. Janelle Hill is a psychiatric nurse practitioner and survivor from Montana.

She and I first had the chance to meet each other at an intimate dinner celebrating the survivor-founded nonprofit, the Army of Survivors,

and their newest evolution, a full rebranding as the athlete survivors assist. Janelle currently proudly serves

relatability.

The broken psychomedia team is very grateful.

Janelle took the time to share her story of survivorship and about her advocacy work with

our audience in the following two episodes.
