Jenni has been writing since she could hold a crayon and has been opinionated since she could form a sentence. Jenni’s Space is where Jenni combines her own personal touch with mental health and human rights education. Here, Jenni’s Space combines education with poetry, short stories, and personal essays. Other “Jenni’s Spaces” focus more on one aspect or another.

Jenni understands that human rights and mental health can’t be untangled. Because of this, Jenni’s Space tries to always weigh what a person can do versus what a society can do. Jenni tries to help people stretch what they believe is possible. At the same time, she sees society’s responsibility for these problems and addresses them that way.

Jenni has been described as passionate, stubborn, infuriating, and (by her husband) a “paladin in dented armor”. This work helps Jenni make the difference she wants to make in the world. Part of her goal is to slowly focus more on writing and videos and creative work. These will become a retirement income for her as she eventually leaves providing individual therapy behind. If you want to help Jenni meet this goal, subscribe to the videos on Patreon and get access 3 days earlier than on YouTube or this website.
