Stephanie Atkinson (McLean) joins the podcast as an interview guest.  Stephanie’s parents, Jim and Sandy McLean, fell ill with Covid-19 in early December. On January 20th, 2021 Jim lost his battle with the virus. Stephanie has been using her voice to spread awareness of just how devastating this virus can be on a family.

ABOUT JIM AND SANDY

Parents to 3 adult children (Randy, John & Stephanie), and grandparents to 6 year old Oliver, they have been married for 42 years and have been community members in Springfield for even longer. Jim is also a proud United States Air Force veteran. In addition to Jim’s 20+ years at Roseboro Lumber Company and Sandy’s equal time at the Springfield School District working with students with special needs, they’ve been actively involved in their beloved community through after school programs, school sports, choir and theater programs. If you’ve ever been to an event in Springfield, you’ve probably run into Sandy selling tickets or helping in some other way. Randy and John continue to live in Springfield, while Stephanie currently lives near Washington, DC and (until recently) had been unable to travel home to be with her family due to the pandemic.

Sara Scofield joins the podcast as an interview guest.  Sara and her family are no strangers to mental illness and suicide.  Three generations of men in her family have taken their own life and Sara has found a way to fight a genetic predisposition to bipolar disorder and suicidal ideation through therapy and medication.   Her work with the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Lane County and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has given her, and those she has been able to help, the ability to fight for their own lives while raising awareness to this preventable tragedy. Tho, Sara is not a mental health professional or an employee of AFSP or Lane County, her advocacy work has been highly regarded in our community. Anything she said today is not as a spokesperson for any organization, rather her own passion to stop suicide.
