  • Sara's Story shared by Scott S2E1 #JMTSOSKC
    Aug 24 2024

    I always say this is a special episode, but every episode is special. However, we will be listening to a special story today, Sara’s story told from her fiancé Scott. I want to mention that Scott has a background in psychological studies, which I think helps when trying to cope with and understand grief after suicide loss. I won’t take up to much time talking before we listen in, but I want to say that Sara has a family grieving; a mother, two children, and a husband to be that will never be now. I want to thank Scott for sharing Sara’s story, for being a voice and providing us with a point of view through a male voice in the community. Men’s mental health matters and I hope that this can help other men who may be struggling to know that it is okay to talk about it – whether you have lost a loved on or are struggling yourself – and that for all who are listening, we encourage you to talk about. If you are in crisis or know someone who is please reach out to the 988 crisis lifeline, the 1-800-273-8255 National Suicide crisis hotline, 1-800-662-4357 SAMHSA hotline or 741-741 text to talk... but be sure to reach out!

    PHOTO SUBMISSION! Honoring those we lost and those who have survived! Please submit a photo to be included in a special tribute video. You may use the sign up link, and I will reach out to you or feel free to send the information any way you can... tie it to a dove, send it in messenger, whatever it takes to get it my way. Email BfromKC@gmail.com also. The memorial video will be made available during the second week of September for suicide awareness and prevention month and will also be shared during the SOS conference more details coming soon!

  • Carpe Inconcinnus - Veterans Msg #JMTSOSKC
    Jul 7 2024

    This is a special broadcast because it is the last episode in the first season! So, we are going to talk about Veteran suicide. In May we celebrated Memorial Day, and in July we are celebrated Independence Day. So, with the idea of patriotism, we remember our soldiers and heroes. We should also remember their mental health is very important. The truth is however, many suffer from mental health illnesses and many also die by suicide. I will have a special announcement as we begin, but keep listening in because later in the episode, I have a special interview to share.
