The Suicide Prevention Movement
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Are you ready to learn how to save a life? Are you ready to have “The Talk” about suicide? I'm your host for a journey into a world that you might not want to visit. And I get that. It's a world I didn't want to visit. And yet, I've spent a lot of time here recently. It’s my journey into the world of teen suicide that prompted my TEDx Talk and the guide that can prevent it . . .
. . . but only if you use it.
TEDx speaker, Radio Show Host, International Best-selling Author, Mindset Magician, Director and co-founder of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, Jackie Simmons is best known for her mission to “Break the Silence on Suicide.” Blindsided by her 14-year-old daughter’s suicide attempt in 1995, Jackie entered a world of depression, addictions, medical mysteries, and deadly silences. The journey into the world of mental health services and cultural taboos left Jackie feeling lost and alone. “OK” on the outside, Jackie hid her deep, psychic wounds behind a façade of frantic entrepreneurial activity. Then on August 3, 2019, Jackie’s now 37-year-old daughter broke the silence. Jackie wasn’t ready. She calls August 3, 2019,the day her “purpose tapped her on the shoulder.” You can learn more ways to break the silence and stop teen suicide by watching: "Have 'The Talk' to Stop Teen Suicide" on the TEDx YouTube channel, at the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, and on The Suicide Prevention Show summit .
