She works to eliminate stigma associated with lawyers who face mental health issues. It’s so important for business leaders to publicly disclose their mental illnesses. Beth is one of the brave leaders willing to do so.

Beth works hard and volunteers much time to help improve the lives of those living with mental illness as well those who care for them.
