The COVID-19 pandemic strained the mental health of many people, as it took away the social connections that provided people with support, at the same time that it forced some people to spend more time in toxic relationships. Eltina Three Stars was one of those people. COVID-19 was a stressful time for her because of the work she was doing, the fact that she had to do it from home with her children around her, and because she was unable to end a toxic relationship because of the lockdown. 

Even after the relationship ended, her mental health did not improve. She sought help and found support from people she trusted and local resources. She now works in behavioral health and helps others. 

This story is part of our #30Days30Stories project for #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth where we share stories of resilience from those struggling with mental health or suicide related challenges.

Read Eltina's story and watch a video of her story at the link in our bio.
