I'm Suma

Mental health is more than a temporary job, it's a lifestyle. I have been advocating in mental health and trauma for a long time and that's where I have been able to find my passion. I believe in a collaborative experience and together, no matter your role, can work to remove the stigmas and increase mental health awareness.
