May is Mental Health Month.
This week's guest on The Sunday Journal is our fellow iHeart employee Katie Williams to talk about mental health in a very open and honest way because it's something people do not talk about often.
Katie wrote a book Journey of the Heart: A Seventeen Year Old's Journal After Losing Her Brother to Suicide. The book is the journal she kept at 17-years-old after her brother Gabe died by suicide when they were in high school. With this book, she hopes it will encourage others who have been impacted by suicide and show them they are not alone and there is hope. If you or anyone you know is thinking about suicide please reach out, 1-800-273-8255
"After my brother died I kept a journal to help me grapple with the loss. Years later, after encouragement from friends, I decided to publish it to help others who have been impacted by suicide. My book tells suicide warning signs in order to raise awareness to help save a life. I hope my book is a companion for you showing you there is hope and you are not alone."
