Connected: Nina's story. Breaking the Cycle of Incarceration through Connections to Resources and Services

In 2014, Nina, after losing her mother to Cancer, had a nervous break-down. She began to hear voices seemingly triggered by her first visit back home to Connecticut after her mother’s passing. She was committed to a mental health institution there where she was provided treatment and released a few months later in December, but reports that the voices returned by March 2015. “I went through all of these suicide attempts because I just didn’t want to live anymore. Life was becoming too much to bear. I didn’t understand where the voices were coming from, or why the Lord would put me through this, and I didn’t know how to stop them,” Nina recalls.
