Journaling as an Effective Healing Tool with Atis Spuris
Send us a Text Message.
When it comes to mental health struggles, sometimes journaling can be just what you need to start to heal.
In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we had the privilege of sitting down with Atis Spuris to talk about his mental health journey, his incarceration, and how he has found healing with journaling. Atis took his own experiences and struggles and used it to support other people who are struggling and help them find out what works for them when it comes to their path to healing.
Atis Spuris is a Peer Support Specialist for the Pitkin Area Co-Responder Teams known as PACT, a collaborative community program between law enforcement and mental health professionals here in the Roaring Fork Valley.
At an early age Atis was diagnosed with clinical depression, then seasonal affective disorder, and eventually bi-polar disorder, along with a spontaneous sense of humor. He is now living what he feels is a well-balanced life, being symptom-free for over five years.
Atis feels very grateful for the opportunities his path has provided; the hope to inspire more communities to increase awareness around the importance of mental health and resiliency while encouraging individuals to share their own stories.
