Edna Freeman or the rise of a mental health influencer

Who is Edna Freeman and some of her thoughts? Edna Freeman is an American mental health advocate and mother who has overcome childhood trauma in her own life and is passionate about ensuring today’s children don’t need to suffer without early intervention. Edna uses her story of overcoming traumatic childhood abuse to show others that they are not alone and that there is no shame in asking for help.

Hello Edna, what prompted you to become a mental health/child abuse advocate? Being a victim myself. I struggled with life, and I wish I had help when I was younger. I grew up with difficulty making friends and keeping relationships. I also kept attracting the wrong people into my life. Abused people tend to get into abusive relationships over and over again. My goal is to help those people to get help as soon as possible. As for mental illness, the earlier the diagnosis, the better, so people and family can also do their part to help. Early intervention is the key.

Is it ever too early or too late in someone’s life to confront and overcome trauma with therapy? There is not too early to confront it, but the older you get it gets harder to treat it. But it is never to late to get help. I got help later in life, and I am very thankful that I did, even though I wish I got help earlier.

Edna Freeman is a Brazilian survivor of abuse during childhood and adolescence, and currently uses her personal experience to help children and adults who are experiencing this type of situation. She is a mother of two and currently lives in San Francisco, United States, with her family. Faster intervention allows people who have suffered from physical, mental and emotional trauma to cope better in the future. As she has been through these problems in her life, she uses this as a way to connect with families and manage to resolve the situation they are going through, always playing less and helping more. Your goal is to make the world a better place by helping one family at a time.

Politics is a subject that Edna has always been interested in, and after getting her American citizenship, she decided to get very involved in the subject, even running to be one of the representatives of Hillary Clinton. On her journey in the political world, she met a number of influential people in the United States, names like Christine Pelosi, who is a political strategist and the daughter of Nancy Pelosi House Speaker Tim Kaine, Virginia Senator and candidate for vice president at Democratic ticket with Hillary Clinton and California Senator Scott Winner.

“I often say that this publicity action opened doors and opened windows. Not to mention the friendships I made with the actors who played my husband and my son.” With overwhelming success, Edna has been starring in uninterrupted campaigns, but still has her image tied to Sutter Health. Asked about the value of the fee, she replied smiling: “It was better than I imagined, but this is a secret”.
