The holidays bring us bright lights and presents under the tree, but this is also the time when depression and suicide rates increase.

Jeff "Ditz" Ditzenberger is back with a special holiday message. Nearly 30 years ago, Ditz survived his own suicide attempt. In 2015, he founded TUGS to promote mental wellness in rural communities. Today, he is a certified mental health life coach and peer specialist in mental health and addiction recovery and is a qualified Question Persuade Refer (QPR) instructor.
