A Nurse’s Guide to Mental Health and Wellness
My name is Cristina Farace, and I have been a mental health nurse for 32 years. Working with the mentally ill population has taught me a lot over the years. There is very little that I haven’t seen or experienced. I have worked at the State and federal levels as a mental health nurse, as well as in private facilities. As a mental health nurse working for the Veterans’ Administration, I supported hundreds of Veterans dealing with depression and anxiety, as well as other mental disorders, and helped guide them on their wellness journey. Furthermore, I have personally experienced episodes of depression and anxiety throughout my life, so I bring an empathetic perspective to my patients and clients.
The reason I developed this website and platform is to educate and guide seniors with mental illness on a path to achieve optimal mental health and wellness. My 32-year journey in healthcare has shown me that seniors are often overlooked, and their mental wellness is not adequately addressed. That is why I founded this platform — to bring you expertise in mental health and provide education that just isn’t widely available.
