Author Bio
L.F. Blanchard has spent more than two decades serving as a counselor within her community. She holds a master's degree in art therapy and mental health counseling and works with at-risk children and their families. Tammy Rebello holds a bachelor's degree in communications. Her passion for urban photography and experience with mental illness have ignited her desire to raise awareness of those that live or have lived with mental disease. The goal of both authors is to diminish the stigma associated with such illnesses and educate the public through the stories of themselves and others.
