Welcome to a Special Episode in Honor of World Suicide Prevention Day. World Suicide Prevention Day is observed yearly to raise awareness, focus efforts on directing treatment to those who need it most, and remember those affected by suicide. I am speaking with Lauren Bittner who is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She specializes in complex trauma, anxiety, panic, and addiction. Lauren is currently pursuing her doctorate in behavioral health and is the founder and clinical director of Nourish Therapy and Wellness. We discuss honestly the loss of her brother (and my step-son) and she explains ways that we can come alongside those that we love. Lauren also gives us resources and a valuable perspective on how to deal with this escalating and often misunderstood reality
