Suicide is everybody’s business. I can empathize with Regina because I have children. I remember seeing him struggling and wondering why didn’t I see this potential behavior health crisis sooner. As a working parents, finding a work life balance is CHALLENGING.

This past Year my 27 year old son struggled with his mental health as a result from witnesses a traumatic event during his military training. A young man killed himself due to the pressure right in front of my son. That experience caused my son PTSD and resulted in my own son’s suicidal thoughts and over 150 hospitalization.

As a result, I’m currently a Youth Mental Health First Aid provider.
