In today’s world, legal and social systems are often discussed in terms of policies and procedures. However, author and advocate Brittany Pelletier offers a different, deeply personal perspective on what happens to the human spirit when those systems fail.
Her memoir, Resilient Heart: Finding Purpose in the Face of Adversity, is more than a survival story. It is a powerful and compassionate call to examine mental health, emotional healing, and post-traumatic resilience.
Through vivid recollections of custody battles, emotional abuse, and housing instability, Pelletier reveals the long-term psychological effects of system-induced trauma, especially on women and mothers.
“People talk about the legal process like it’s just paperwork and courtrooms,” says Pelletier. “But for those of us living it, it’s sleepless nights, anxiety attacks, and the feeling that you’re slowly disappearing inside a system that doesn’t see you.”
Her book has deeply resonated with mental health professionals, social workers, and recovery counselors.
Many now recommend it as a resource for trauma-informed care. Pelletier shares how the emotional strain of prolonged legal battles nearly broke her. She also emphasizes how the lack of mental health support made the journey even harder.
As a certified Community Health Worker and experienced case manager, Pelletier understands the critical link between emotional wellness and access to justice.
Her memoir advocates for families in crisis and pushes for a national conversation around mental health care within the family court system.
Through her nonprofit, J & D Family Services, Pelletier offers ongoing support to families navigating both emotional and legal challenges.
Her services go beyond housing and legal advice. She provides understanding and encouragement drawn from her own lived experience.
