From Tragedy to Triumph: Ali Kessler's Fight for Greyson's Law
All I needed was a hearing and I would have talked to the judge. It's about children's safety and somehow it gets convoluted into a million other things.
Imagine facing the unimaginable loss of your child. This is the reality Ali Kessler confronts in this moving episode of 'Rhyme & Reason with Dr. Barry'. Ali’s son, Greyson, was tragically killed by his father during a mental health crisis. Rather than succumbing to despair, Ali transformed her grief into action, tirelessly advocating for Greyson's Law to protect other children from similar fates.
She also founded GreysonsChoice.Org, offering support and resources to families navigating the treacherous waters of domestic violence and mental health crises. Ali's story isn't just about loss; it's about resilience, the fight for justice, and the power of advocacy. She delves into the legal hurdles she faced, the pressing need for better training for judges and lawyers, and the crucial role of self-care in her journey.
This episode is a poignant reminder of the impact one person can have on creating change and the importance of community support in times of crisis.
