On Tuesday, November 17, 2020 at 8pm EST, we started with a powerful PRE-SHOW featuring music, poetry and personal statements and stories to set the tone. At 8:30pm, the LIVE DISCUSSION began where questions were asked and answers were explored in an unfiltered dialogue that was raw and real. Tune in as we work to end the stigma and start the conversations that will raise awareness for MENTAL HEALTH.

THE BROADCAST


​1 in 4 people report a mental health crisis in their life.

Globally, over 800,000 suicides are reported each ​year, with many more unreported. In the US alone, over 121 individuals complete suicide each day.
​

It's been too long...

​Too long has the conversation about mental health and suicide been held behind closed doors shrouded in stigma and shame. Too long have people suffered alone, unsure and uncertain of just where to begin.

Now is the time to give mental health a spotlight to be clearly seen. Now is the time for so many silenced voices to be loudly heard in discussions designed to dismantle the stigma and build a dialogue where mental health can be openly discussed with honesty.

We are in the midst of a mental health crisis not only hear in the United States, but beyond our borders across the globe. In these unprecedented times, we are called to seek answers and find solutions. These actions begin awareness, and awareness starts with conversation.

It's time to talk.
