Truth! All other aspects of “school” will fall into place if you have built this

If this message resonates with you, please share it. If you are ready tell your story, post it with the hashtag   #MentalHealthIsMe and remind everyone that mental health doesn’t have a look, it has a story.

And I’m finally ready to tell mine. (9/9)

On top of that, I experienced something with one of my daughters that no father should ever have to endure. It was a deeply traumatic event, one that left a lasting scar and intensified the mental health struggles I was already battling.

For those of us who are done hiding. For those who want to speak the truth. For those who want to make it okay to not be okay, even when you’re in a position of leadership.

My childhood was shaped by trauma, trauma that didn’t just disappear as I got older. I carried it into adulthood, and over the past 18–24 months, that pain began to resurface in overwhelming ways. (3/9)

This past year, I struggled deeply with my mental health. I experienced crushing anxiety and depression, all while trying to lead, support staff and students, and keep a strong face.

What many don’t know is that I have an ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score of 8. (2/9)

I’ve debated whether or not to share this, but staying silent only feeds the stigma that I should be able to just “tough it out.”

I am a high school principal who was recently terminated “for cause,” but behind the scenes, there’s more to my story. (1/9)
