In this powerful episode of The 411 Live, host Beverly Taylor sits down with professional counselor Simmone Kilgore M.S., LPC, Founder of Transcendent Hope LLC, to explore the sociological factors that contribute to suicidal ideation and risk.
From isolation and loss of connection to the pressure of societal expectations, the conversation dives deep into how these issues affect mental health across all age groups. Together, they stress the importance of open dialogue, validation, and community connection to help prevent suicide.
