They're All Doing Better Now

It is of no surprise that there is a mental health epidemic in the United States. However, in discussing how to heal and progress as a society, we need to prepare all members to collectively make progress. Losing or almost losing a friend or loved one to suicide can be a deeply confusing and heartbreaking experience. People can experience everything from sadness to guilt to betrayal to anger and more. This video hopes to educate the public watching on how to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others struggling with depression and/or suicide. From discussing how to be a powerful and positive force in supporting others who are struggling with depression, relating it to current data, studies, and statistics, this video gives baseline and required information for supporting others who may attempt suicide. Drawing from personal experience, I want to show that there is power in simple gestures of care, and with those gestures, a seemingly powerless situation can be improved.
