Saya is a mental health content writer with over a decade of experience working as a mental health professional. She's trained in practices like EMDR and Motivational Interviewing, and worked with people battling addiction and co-occurring disorders in her former life as a clinical social worker. Addiction is also a personal matter to her - many people very dear to her are in recovery. The most important thing to her as a writer is creating mental health content that is helpful, and not confusing - the last thing you need when you're trying to beat mental illness or addiction is bad information.

Tom has made it his mission to help those in need. He began his career with RehabAid researching, crafting and editing content. His diligent pursuit of empowering those in need with useful resources blossomed into a position as RehabAid's Outreach Director. Understanding the weight of our words and the content we produce, he leads the effort to develop meaningful connections with likeminded facilities and organizations nationally.

His passion and focus for helping those with mental health issues and their families comes from personal experience. Witnessing the effects substance abuse had on parts of his family, he feels a profound connection with others going through a similar struggle. It's for this reason that he wants to make sure victims of addiction have access to the best possible resources, most current information, and trustworthy care programs. For Tom, it's about reaching as many people as possible.
