Meet Ryan & Hazel
“Before Hazel, the main way I managed my mental health issues was isolation – sometimes even from my own family inside my own home. (Now) I have been on multiple trips with Hazel across the nation, we leave the house almost daily, we spend more time with friends and family, my sleep schedule is much better – the list goes on and on.”
