Morris has learned how to navigate a life filled with challenges by finding solace in keeping busy with all the things he enjoys, from watercolor painting to working out mathematical equations. However, when TMI Project offered a storytelling workshop in collaboration with the Mental Health Association of Ulster County (MHA), he was hesitant to join. When he decided to overcome his fear of public speaking and give it a try, though, he transformed into a powerful storyteller.

In his story, Morris shares a heartfelt letter to his late grandmother, Gigi, and speaks out about to breathe stigma surrounding schizophrenia.

If you think you have a problem and want help, call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Association’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP.

Writing Prompt: Write a letter to a memorable family member or mentor who influenced your life.
