How do you find the courage to discuss a topic that weighs so heavily? In this episode, I sit down with Michele Kidd, a mother and educator, as she courageously tells us about the loss of her son, Nathaniel, to suicide. Michele has created Nate’s Story, a non-profit organization, in order to honor Nate’s life and create awareness on mental health and suicide. This episode peels back the layers of depression as Michele reveals her insight and perspective, unfortunately, through her experience with Nate. Nate’s Story has developed the hashtag, #keeptalking, and Michele leads by example as she tells us Nate’s childhood symptoms and signals, the generational gaps in parenting, and her proactive path for having the conversations with our younger generations. Michele wants people to know that it doesn’t need to reach the point of suicide, instead we can give people the gift of awareness and understanding, along with strategies and skills, to help cope with depression, as well as erase the stigma surrounding it. Michele, thank you. #keeptalking
