November 10, 2015 Episode 4: EXTRA - Youth suicide prevention
When you listen to Blake's story, you realize how lucky he was to have someone in his life who recognized the signs of mental illness early on. His father could see that Blake was battling some of the same personal demons that Blake's mother had for years. It was that past experience that led to an intervention that may have saved Blake's life.
But many parents don't have those experiences to draw from -- and the signs of mental illness end up going unnoticed, especially when kids are away from home.
This is what happened to Lynn Keane. In 2009, she lost her son Daniel to suicide.
Today, Lynn is a highly respected voice on youth depression and suicide prevention.
In a candid interview, we talk to her about her experience and what can be learned from Blake's story

About Campus

From the publisher's feed

Campus is that place and time in our lives where everything changes. Welcome to the CBC’s first original podcast series. Every episode is driven by a first-person narrative as host, Albert Leung guides you through one character’s life-defining experience. The stories are uniquely personal, honest and intimate. And although our characters are almost always students, their experiences are universal. Everyone can relate to the struggles of fitting in, feeling lost, self-discovery and tackling adversity.
