Healing the Inner Self

● According to the data collected in 2020 alone by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention, there were 1.2 million attempted suicides and roughly 46,000 completed suicides. In other words, there was one death every 11 minutes.

● Among ages 10-19, suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death and the 2nd leading cause of death for ages 20-34. Almost ninety percent of those who commit suicide suffer from untreated depression and let their symptoms grow until they are unbearable, causing a feeling of hopelessness, loneliness, and numbness.

● Here goes the journey of Victoriya Ruffin, a Mental Health Advocate and Student at Oral Roberts University. One who is a survivor of depression and its dark spiral.

● However, upon enrolling into ORU, something changed her consciousness that enabled her outlook on life.

● Sideby, the presence of the aid of Mirror Intelligence (MQ) helped her throughout her journey and, in turn, inspired her to be a Mental Health Advocate while being a student at ORU.
