As I’ve talked to leaders and providers around the nation one thing has become clear to me:  our suicide problem does NOT fall in the historic mental health disorder categories such as bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia or manic depression… the problem is that people who have no mental health disorder are taking their lives.  These people are overwhelmed by life and the good news is we can change that.

Another interesting point that comes out of those discussion is that fact that the manner in which young people are currently parented, the way they are insulated from adversity and left unprepared for the reality of life beyond high school — we’ll talk about it.

Andrew is a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps, he reached out to ALL MARINE RADIO after seeing a Post-Traumatic Winning Presentation at Camp Pendleton.  His story is as inspiring as it is difficult — Andrew said goodbye to his mother at the age of 11 when cancer took her life; in high school he was hit in the head by a discus at a track meet — it would take Andrew three years to fully recover from that incident.  After joining the Marine Corps, Andrew incurred another head injury that took his dream of becoming a Recon Marine away.

What you’ll hear in this interview is the story of finding meaning in life — Andrew is a role model for a lot of people who search for meaning after trauma enters their lives.
