Suicide Prevention – Maine Chapter of National Alliance for Mental Illness – Episode 142

Jul 16, 2021 | Depression, Emotional Health, Grief, Mental Health, Therapy

Part 1: We all have probably either known someone who has taken their own life or have heard of suicide and how it affects the loved ones who are left behind. However, it’s one of those subjects that people tend to not talk about. But like I’ve said on my show many times before, the only way we can make things change is by being willing to acknowledge the topic and have these tough discussions. In this episode, I speak with Greg Marley, the Director of Suicide Prevention for the Maine branch of NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness). Greg talks about what mental illness is, what signs you can look for and shares tips on how to help those you love who may be suffering from a mental illness.

This show is dedicated to my cousin’s grandson, Andre James Shaeffer who passed away on June 12, 2021.
