In May 2015, Cleo was living with her mother, going to college, teaching theater to middle-school youth, and a summer lifeguard when she began experiencing extreme anxiety & mood swings. "I am very functional and can multi-task, but then it was like watching a train wreck and not being able to do anything about it,” says Cleo. The Los Angeles LGBT Center in Hollywood referred Cleo to Daniel's Place, where she was diagnosed with #bipolardisorder.

At Daniel’s Place, the positive coping and life skills Cleo learned allowed her to continue her education and remain employed. When Cleo aged-out of Daniel’s Place, she continued to receive #mentalhealth services at Step Up Ocean Park. She completed her Bachelor’s degree at Antioch University Los Angeles and is currently employed at a Unitarian Universalist Church in a managerial position. “I feel grateful, humbled, and exhausted that I have been stable for a long while now, and I have finally reached adulthood at the age of 30."
