Episode 45: Kristina Miller part 2

Written By Susie Gurley

This episode is a continuation of my conversation with Kristina Miller, mom of former Ohio State University football player Harry Miller. In this episode, Kristina recounts some of the fears and challenges of parenting an adult son with mental health issues.

Kristina also gives us an update on the amazing things that Harry is doing now, including pursuing a Rhodes Scholarship (Harry has a 4.0 GPA as a mechanical engineering major) and founding the Don’t Make It Weird Foundation (https://dmiw.org/), whose mission is to normalize the conversation around mental illness.

Kristina has also started a support group for parents in her local area, and is a fan of several other mental health organizations like NAMI (https://nami.org/), Hillinski’s Hope (https://www.hilinskishope.org/) and Sack the Stigma (https://sackthestigma.com/).
