After doing an episode discussing suicide, we felt it was a good idea to carry a conversation about positive communication and how to be a good listener. Communication is an important piece in preventing suicide and strengthening our relationships. Jen and Sara share lots of tips for good communication and what it takes to be a good listener.

September is Suicide Prevention and Awareness month. Did you know one in twenty people will lose someone they know to suicide in any given year? And one in five people will lose someone they know to suicide at any given point in their lifetime. Those are some sobering statistics which is why we brought Curtis back on the show to talk about suicide prevention and help break the stigma surrounding this topic. The more we talk about it, the better we will be at preventing it from happening.
