Ann Dagle, Co-Founder and President of the Brian Dagle Foundation and Brian's Healing Hearts Center for Hope and Healing, joined us to chat about the importance of talking openly about mental health and suicide. Ann has learned to weave her personal loss into her life and work and we were so blessed to learn more about suicide prevention, how to support our loved ones, and how to break down the stigma surrounding mental health, suicide, and loss. The L/OL 2021 Youth Survey (grades 7-12) revealed that 20% of students have thought about suicide in the last 12 months. This statistic and others prove that we all need to be talking openly about mental health suicide- we were grateful to continue that conversation with Ann.
