Film Description:

Looking for people that inspire you is sometimes difficult, but for us we are ALL inspired by our family. We all agree that our families are our Mental Health Heroes because they watch out for us, help us, and support us in the way that we need to be successful. Even though each of our families look different, they love and guide us to better mental health and self care.
