Cumberland County man recognized for mental health advocacy | Jefferson Awards

"I was diagnosed in early high school with a mental illness." Louis Bianco of Cumberland County was just 15 years old when his world abruptly changed. "I was the captain of the wrestling team and the lead in the school play in 8th grade. Then, all of a sudden, my life was falling apart and I had to do school work in the basement of lockdown psychiatric facilities just to try to keep up with my classmates," Bianco said. He wasn't expected to graduate high school, but he did. Louis even went on to graduate from college with a nursing degree. "I started working in the same facilities where I was a patient when I was in my youth. I learned so much important information when I was in the hospital after I lost everything I was working towards, [I figured] why can't we teach this to the general public so that they can possibly avoid that crisis?" Bianco told FOX43. He set off on what he calls his life's mission, to improve the mental health system by educating others. https://www.fox43.com/article/news/lo...
