I read books multiple times a week.
My name is Alex Bush, and I am passionate about psychology and human behavior. After losing several loved ones to suicide and living with PTSD and ADHD, I began public speaking in high school. Today, I have shared my story and educated over 17,000 people across the country. For a third of my life, I have been deeply involved in mental health advocacy through public speaking, peer education, nonprofit outreach, and board service. These experiences inspired me to pursue a Master of Science in Education (M.S.Ed.) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Mental health work has shaped who I am, and continuing my education is essential to being a lifelong advocate for change within and beyond clinical settings.
