Welcome!
Faye Ellen Kufahl is a born storyteller---inspired and inspiring.
Formed by her experience as a social worker and influenced by her sister Gail's diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia when Faye was eleven, she weaves inspirational tales that open hearts and bring encouragement to all that hear them.
Both entertaining and educational, Faye offers facts and statistics while openly discussing the family dynamics and stigma often associated with mental illness. Building bridges of hope and understanding, Ms Kufahl compellingly articulates the need for greater tolerance and opportunity for persons in our society afflicted with mental illness.
