Dale Wayne Williams shares “No Need to Pretend”

Dale Wayne Williams was born in Texas and raised in rural Northern Michigan. Mental illness is what has always tried to hold him back and keep him from fully enjoying life. When Dale was younger, he thought he could do anything; however, as depression and anxiety took root in his psyche, he began to feel like he was nothing. Dale states that being able to speak openly about mental health is the only way we can destigmatize it.

Dale shares his story in the This Is My Brave Lansing 2018 show.

This Is My Brave Lansing 2018

"When I first saw the social media posts about This Is My Brave and the work that is done to destigmatize the discussion of mental illness, I knew I had to be a part of this."
