Instead of just like limiting myself to recovery, I figured, you know what, let's just let's do all of the mental health.
Imagine facing a childhood filled with turmoil, only to find your calling in the very field that once seemed out of reach. That's the story of Damian, who opens up about his journey in this heartfelt episode of Peerstar's 'From Hurt to Healing' podcast. Damian's early years were marked by allegations of abuse and academic struggles, leading him to therapeutic foster care.

He emphasizes the importance of discipline and a holistic approach to recovery, shedding light on the nuances of mental health work. For anyone navigating their own recovery or supporting someone who is, Damian's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. His candid discussion about overcoming adversity and finding strength in vulnerability makes this episode a must-listen.
