As a survivor of mental abuse, Olivia often thinks about how important Family Mental Health is. She believes everything associated with life starts at home. “Our values, ethics, morals and mentality play a huge role in how we decide to live. Throughout the history of time, the family structure has been a crucial part of society. Today, we see many examples of the structure being torn down. If our family structures are not strong, then how can our nation be strong? The answer to this question lies in us working together to make them better”, says Olivia.  

The Family First Initiative platform strives to educate, advocate, and provide services for family mental health. Through the avenue of Expressive Arts Therapy, the traits and struggles of both the parents and the children can be heard and explored. She hopes that through her project there will be more healed units, crimes decreasing, stronger communities increasing and a better foundation of tomorrow for the next generation all across the nation and around the globe! It's time to heal the world, one song, dance, story and heart at a time.
