Dawn Corbelli served in the Air Force for three and a half years as a young adult and has a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Behavioral Science. She considers having been married for 34 years so far, one of her greatest achievements in her life. And being a stay-at-home mom for many years, until her children approached adulthood, is something she found great pleasure and fulfillment in. Her family, her love for them, and relationships with them are her priority. Although struggling with mental illness and a traumatic brain injury makes achieving some goals difficult for her, she is a fighter, tenacious, and does not give up. As a prior employee of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Colorado, Dawn was presented the “Giraffe Award” which is an award given annually to an individual that “sticks their neck out.” This award acknowledges that with courage and determination, she increased mental illness awareness and reduced stigma by expressing herself in the media and by giving presentations to groups. She taught classes of families and friends of the mentally ill, about mental illness. Dawn’s dream of becoming an author has finally come to fruition. She now speaks to high school health class students, educating them about traumatic brain injuries. Dawn has a positive outlook on life and keeps her strong faith in the Lord. Dawn Corbelli currently lives in Colorado Springs, CO, with her husband Greg, and both her daughters, Kylie and Veronica.
