Beth Carey knows what it’s like to fight for her mental health. For years, she’s bravely faced the daily challenges of C-PTSD, autism, anxiety, and the overwhelming feeling of not belonging.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, these struggles intensified, bringing back nightmares, flashbacks, and a battle with situational mutism.

Update: My parents were visiting SIU this month and got to meet some of the service dogs in training with S.I.T. and the person managing my application. I'm a little jealous, but so excited they got to meet part of the team at S.I.T. working with my service dog in person!
