Garrett is a Peer-to-Peer Facilitator and an Ending the Silence Presenter.  Grand Junction born and raised, just a nerdy farm boy living the duality of Colorado life. Avid video game player and collector. Diagnosed GAD and Depression, but I’m handling them both!

Stacy is a Peer-to-Peer Facilitator and an Ending the Silence Presenter.  I am married and was able to be a stay-at-home mom for 8 years until I started working at Munchies last summer.  I have 2 daughters, one at CMU and one in elementary school.  I was diagnosed with clinical depression in the early 2000’s and adult ADHA in the last few years.  My biggest motivation in sharing my story is to help people understand they are more than their diagnosis and they are not alone.
