Meet Melinda Smith

Melinda Smith knows it is really hard for people to blurt out how they really feel and how difficult it can be to express our deepest fears. She was date-raped in high school and developed depression during college. While she struggled with her own depression she felt completely alone, because no one in her family ever discussed mental disorders. Soon after she began treatment for her depression, she found out that her cousin had taken his own life. Melinda reached a breaking point and found help to cope with these experiences. Her lively and cathartic presentation discusses date rape, suicide and provides an invaluable education about depression.
