Personal Story

Climb The Hill Media was founded by Daniel A. Popovich, a Christian writer, poet, author, and advocate residing in Austintown, Ohio, USA.  

​

He was first diagnosed with a significant mental illness as a young adult after a summer-long visit to a Catholic seminary to pursue what he thought was a vocation to the priesthood. That was not the case.

​

He is not a mental health professional and only offers the contents of this website as examples of how he thinks and what he does to cope and thrive despite having a chronic mental health problem.

​

He hopes that by sharing his own path to wellness, which incorporates Christian Teachings, others will be inspired to discover and share their own unique paths to mental and emotional well-being.

​

Dan is a champion of compassionate and effective mental health care for all.
