This is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast.

Today we look back at my discussion with Lawrence Sprung, which was originally published as episode 15, on 19th March 2023.

I wanted to do some shows on how to cope with abuse and alienation. In recent episodes began that by discussing trauma and meditation. Today we talk about suicide and suicide prevention.

The websites findahelpline.com and www.suicide.org have links to helplines and suicide prevention links in many countries. Please take a look if you are suffering or suicidal or you are concerned for someone else.

Our children need us to stay around for them, whether we are seeing them now or whether we are being alienated and will see them when they are older.

Children also die by suicide and as a society we need to improve prevention.

Our guest today is Lawrence Sprung. He lives in New York and is the founder of wealth management company Mitlin Financial Inc.

He is an Investopedia Top Ten Advisor for 2022, he hosts the Mitlin Money Mindset™ podcast and he spent over 12 years on the National Board for The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

In 2004 Lawrence lost his brother-in-law Keith to suicide.

He reacted by turning his sadness into a mission to raise awareness for mental health. He has become a resource for the community and he has helped many parents seeking help for their children.

Lawrence has also raised over $1.5 million for the Keith Milano Memorial Fund charity.

We learn about Lawrence’s story, his work improving financial literacy for parents and children and his work with The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
