Wynter Mitchell: From Online Predation to Empowerment and Healing

I feel like, if you know me, you know that I have a good heart and I'm currently dealing with someone that was a friend, who's sort of like trying to sabotage me, and I felt like, if you know me, you know that I'm not- would never stab you in the back, and but I don't owe you anything.
Imagine being one of the first victims of online predators at just 14 years old. That's Wynter Mitchell's reality, and she bravely shares her story in this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour' with host Paul Gilmartin.
