Lisa Sugarman is changing the narrative around suicide and mental health. Lisa's journey began with a personal tragedy—losing her father to suicide at a young age, a truth she only discovered decades later. This revelation propelled her into a life dedicated to mental health advocacy, where she now serves as a crisis counselor for The Trevor Project, among other roles. Her mission? To normalize the conversation about mental health and to echo the message that "it's okay to not be okay." Lisa shares her insights into the common threads she's noticed in her interactions with those contemplating suicide. Desperation, hopelessness, and feeling like a burden are recurring themes. But Lisa doesn't stop there. She offers strategies and resources, hoping to reach anyone who might be struggling in silence. This is more than just a podcast episode—it's a lifeline for those who need to hear that their struggles are seen, their voices matter, and that there is hope. Her story might just change the way you think about mental health and the power of sharing our experiences. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealth #Suicide #SuicidePrevention It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!
