Nicole Steinhagen
Nicole Steinhagen grew up in South Portland, Maine and is currently a Sophomore at Southern Maine Community College studying business. Nicole has also been studying Martial Arts for 18 years, holds a black belt and has 4 world championship titles. She is also the current Miss Greater Portland and gearing up for Miss Maine in June of this year! After losing her grandfather 5 years ago to suicide, she feels it is more important than ever to end the silence and help others speak up around the topic of suicide.
In the wake of her grandfathers suicide, Nicole had a rough few years, both physically and mentally. She ended up losing about 15 pounds that she didn't have to begin with. She would barely have a meal during the day because she was consistently busy and wouldn't remember to eat. She also distanced herself from anything and everything that would remind her of her grandpa.
A few years ago, Nicole found the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Up until then she had never known that suicide was preventable and mental health was more than depression and anxiety. In Maine, schools do not talk about suicide and mental health but with AFSP she is working to let everyone know that it's okay to not be okay and there's resources out there for everyone to access!
