With no shortage of mental illness in Carri’s family, it comes natural for her to support American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, an organization that not only talks about mental health and awareness, but also provides resources and paves the way in suicide prevention research, truly making a difference in preventable statistics. As a foolish young teenager, Carri was often afraid for herself. As a happy, functioning adult, she’s now concerned for others. Together we can instill courage, hope and #talkawaythedark.
Research shows that suicide is often preventable, but how? What do we do when a loved one is struggling? What do we say and not say? How do we have these tough conversations during a dire situation and how do we change the conversation and stigma around mental health to begin with? The AFSP tackles all these topics and more.
