Trigger Warning - Suicide discussed.
Join Lorraine Nilon and Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker and a writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years as the have a conversation about breaking the silence and debunking the stigma of suicide.
He’s fought a lifetime battle with Depression and Chronic Suicidality, turning that long dark journey into 8 TEDx Talks and insights on Mental Health Awareness (the only other person who has that many TEDx Talks is...Bill Gates).
Depression and suicide run in his family. He’s thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He's come close enough to ending his life that he can tell you what the barrel. of his gun tastes like.
He uses his life lessons to start the conversation giving people permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences.
He believes that where there is humor there is hope, where there is laughter there is life, nobody dies laughing.
