“I set up th|AIR|apy when I was suffering with my own mental health in 2018. My depression, anxiety, and PTSD were affecting my daily life, and I needed help. As a last ditch effort to live, I wanted to know if there were other Flight Attendants struggling like me in aviation, but I just didn’t know how to meet them. So, I created a peer support group that allows Flight Attendants to talk together without fear or judgment and connect with each other. Out of that was born the world renown th|AIR|apy Text Line. It has now grown to become a national award winning organization and I am incredibly proud of the extraordinary community it has become today. I hope we continue to grow, thrive and reach as many Flight Attendants worldwide, needing this sort of help and support.
