"The thing is, there’s no outline of how to help."@JayneAppel discusses a loved one's mental illness. https://t.co/eQaMPNVqR7— The Players' Tribune (@PlayersTribune) September 1, 2016
San Antonio Stars center Jayne Appel-Marinelli opened up on a family member's mental illness in this piece on The Players' Tribune.
In her piece, Appel-Marinelli campaigned for people to change how they "treat, talk about, relate to and understand" people with mental illness.
"My family member will continue to live with this illness for the rest of their life. Nothing can make it go away. But we can change how we treat, talk about, relate to and understand people like them, or others with mental illness.
All they want is some version of normal.
Maybe the normal everyone thought us to be."
