Tamisha Humphrey: Christian-Based Mental Health Advocate My name is Tamisha Humphrey, and I am fervent about making an optimistic and enduring influence within marginalized communities through Christian-based mental health services. I am pursuing a Psychology degree at Belhaven University and will earn my alternative teaching license by 2028. I aim to be a beacon of hope and support for people, particularly children, who may feel neglected or vulnerable in life's challenges. Grounded in my Christian faith, I strive to construct spaces where mental health care and spiritual direction coexist, helping people find healing, purpose, and strength. Mental health struggles have been a very real and personal part of my journey. Throughout my life, I have encountered considerable hardships, including abuse and sexual assault. These severe incidents shaped the resilient and empathetic person I am today. I firmly believe that everything we bear serves a more significant purpose, and I have dedicated myself to using my ventures as a testimony and tool for helping others. Rather than living with regret, I welcome my past as a part of my story that has equipped me to offer compassion, understanding, and real-world direction to others walking similar paths. My ventures with trauma have significantly affected my beliefs, activism, and career aspirations. They have ingrained in me a strong passion for championing marginalized individuals' mental and emotional well-being, especially Black children, who often face compounded layers of trauma that go unnoticed or untreated. In many marginalized communities, mental health is still a taboo subject, usually concealed behind stigmas and misinformation. By providing Christian-based mental health services, I hope to bridge the gap between religion and psychological support, helping people to see that caring for their mental health is not a symbol of feebleness but an examination of divine strength and wisdom. My career aspirations include earning my Bachelor's degree with a concentration in Child Psychology. I feel a deep calling to operate with the youth, providing them with early interventions, emotional aid, and the tools to steer life's hardships with confidence and faith. Concentrating on child psychology, I aim to detect issues early, empower families, and foster environments where children feel safe, valued, and capable of thriving despite misfortune. Ultimately, my vision is to create Christian-centered mental health programs that are obtainable, culturally sensitive, and deeply rooted in love and healing. Through workshops, counseling services, mentorship programs, and community outreach, I want to provide hope where there has been despair and promote healing where there has been hurt. My oath to this work derives not only from my scholarly goals but also from a deeply personal place. My assignment is to ensure that no child or individual feels alone in their pain and can find their way to completeness through faith, support, and professional care.
