About Me

Hi there! I’m Cara Durbin, a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and support. As a student at UNC-Chapel Hill, I’ve dedicated my studies and personal experiences to raising awareness around mental health, particularly in areas such as the intersection of reproductive and mental health in women. I’m the Vice President of UNC NAMI and serve on the 2025 NAMI NC NextGen Advisory Council. Through this blog, I aim to share valuable resources, personal insights, and stories that can empower others in their mental health journey. Let’s work together to break the stigma and build a more compassionate, informed community.
