Don’t miss the first of this three-part series featuring Holly Miles. Holly has quite a story of her own mental health journey, her work as a psychiatric nurse, her journey with the foster care system, and her eventual adoption of her son, Jacob. Holly shares her personal and professional experiences that led her to her present work as the Executive Director of NAMI Greater Kansas City.  Holly always wanted to have children but was unable to do so. She and her husband went through the process of becoming foster parents.  Holly conveys her feelings vulnerably about fostering twins and eventually adopting a 12-year-old boy. Holly does not sugarcoat her experience with and feelings about the foster care system and the impact on her son, who was in the foster care system from the age of two until Holly and her husband adopted him at age twelve.
