“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.” — Lucius Annaeus Seneca   The world lost a great human recently, Stephen “Twitch” Boss, and I wanted to take a moment to address suicide and suicide prevention on T&T. This is an intentionally brief solo podcast in hopes that as many people as possible will tune in, regardless if you think it impacts your world or not- because chances are, it does or it will. I read through some astounding statistics about how prevalent suicide really is, who it effects the most, and some prevention suggestions. All information is from the CDC (Center For Disease Control) and easily accessible HERE and at the link below. I hope this podcast at minimum ups our awareness about ourselves and our loved ones, and mental health as a whole. If you or someone you know needs immediate help, call 988 Crisis Lifeline-it’s free, confidential, and available 24/7, 365. Sending all the love and prayer to anyone and everyone that needs it- you are never alone in this. XO   HELP NOW: Dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline Hours: Available 24 hours.
