The Suicide Prevention Movement
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
I'm going to interview myself! Actually, it's going to be more of a discussion with you. We're going to go into the world that God created. When I realized that there was a need to have the talk with your teen about suicide, before you think it's needed, what happened after that, led to this. It's not easy to talk about. That's the storyline of my brain, on the topic of suicide, especially the topic of teen suicide. It wasn't easy to talk about 24 years ago, when my daughter first tried to kill herself. And it's not easy to talk about today. But I must find a way to have this talk with you.
TEDx speaker, radio show host, international best-selling author, Emotional Resilience Grand Master Trainer, and co-founder of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, Jackie Simmons is best known for her mission to “Wake Up The World.”
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 from the world behind a façade of frantic entrepreneurial activity.
Then on August 3, 2019, Jackie’s {then 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.”
