StarkMHAR would like to recognize
Michelle Beyer, ICAN Peer Support Specialist.
Michelle recently worked with a client who suffered from debilitating Tinnitus since 1986. After looking into the situation, a doctor was able to adjust his hearing aid which led to relief from the noise. According to Michelle, the client was ready to start living his life after that. Thanks to Michelle's support, this client is able to have a better quality of life.
