Hi there! My name is Kate, and I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener, student of Human Services, and I work in mental health advocacy. I am in long-term recovery from both serious mental illness and substance use disorder, and I would love to listen to anyone struggling with the same. I know how important an open ear can be! In my spare time, I like cooking, crafts, watching documentaries, and writing. I'm also getting back into fitness lately! If you'd like to talk, feel free to send me a message or open a chat if I'm online.
