Ending the stigma through poetry
Patricia Click currently resides in Honolulu, Hawaii. She graduated with a dual M.A. Degree from the University of West Florida in 2020 in Exceptional Student Education and Applied Behavior Analysis. Patricia is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Licensed Behavior Analyst. She works with children and adolescents with diverse diagnoses and backgrounds. She enjoys writing poems about mental health, relationships and personal growth. She plans to publish a book of poetry in the near future.
Due to being diagnosed with ADHD, an anxiety disorder and bipolar 2 disorder, she has stated, “There is not enough empathy regarding mental illness and I have chosen to advocate for all who suffer due to the stigma surrounding it. I hope to educate people more on it since as a society we believe this shouldn’t be discussed, when it absolutely should be. We all should have more empathy”.
