Women and Wellness founder Helen MacDonnell lost her brother to suicide and to cope began sharing her story with anyone who would listen which lead to many events where thousands of woman have heard her story and were able to share their own.
She offered a few of her 'Helen's hints' which include 7 hugs a day for optimal health.
She also recommends 15 minutes in nature a day to soothe the soul, eating to avoid being hungry and angry and to send letters and write notes to people.
All proceeds from "A Day in Her Shoes" will support the programs of the Canadian Mental Health Association in Saint John.
