A New Year of Hope and Healing

Wishing you peace, love, and happiness in this new year. As we step into this new chapter, I want to take a moment to reconnect with both our longtime community and those who are new here. The start of a new year can bring hope, reflection, and sometimes quiet struggles, so I hope this space continues to be one where you feel seen, supported, and understood.

My name is Michelle, and in August 2022, I founded In Her Name, an organization dedicated to promoting positive mental health and preventing suicide. I hold a Ph.D. in Education and spent much of my professional life in higher education, but my life’s work took on a deeper meaning after losing my stepdaughter to suicide in April 2022.

In her memory, I now focus on providing hope, resources, and support to individuals and families navigating mental health challenges. This journey is one of grief, love, and purpose, and everything I do is committed to helping others feel less alone in their struggles.

As we move forward into this new year, I encourage you to check in on your loved ones… often. If you’re struggling, please know that it’s okay to ask for help and to seek support. You are not alone, and your life matters.

Thank you for being part of our community and for walking this journey with me… in her name.❤️

Best Regards

Dr. Michelle V. Boodoo @ In Her Name
