Suicide Prevention - Voices of Vermont Stakeholders

[@chrisbarrett9719]

JoEllen, this video is wonderful. It says everything that we need to continue our work to spread awareness of mental illeness and suicide. Through my association with AFSP and the Coalition it has helped me tremendously with the death of Michael and my own struggles with depression and suicide attempts. I have spoken to so many who have broke their silence of their struggles and their pain. Chris and I had a zoom meeting with Michelle Warren last night. I was so impressed with Craftsbury and how they came together for Michelle in her time of grief. They are preparing for a walk to prevent suicide in their town and Chris and I will be attending. I am looking forward to the time when the covid restriction is lifted and we can meet in person. "HOPE" is your Lifeline Betty & Chris Barrett
