Education is key, and this is something that every single person, every single human can learn.
Suicide is a topic that many shy away from, but Matt Tompkins isn't afraid to face it head-on. In this episode of 'It's The Fix', Matt sits down with Amy Reed and Jen Sparrock, Co-chairs of the American Foundation Suicide Prevention, Nebraska charter, to have an honest conversation about suicide. They dive into why it happens, how we can prevent it, and the critical importance of breaking the stigma surrounding it.
With personal stories and expert insights, Amy and Jen offer practical advice on recognizing risk factors and warning signs.

As Amy Reed poignantly states, 'education is key, and this is something that every single person, every single human can learn'.
