Ep 105: Stopping the Rising Epidemic of Teenage Suicide with Co-Founder of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, Jackie Simmons

Dreams ARE Real

3000 teens attempt to kill themselves every day. And that was before COVID. Frequently, the first sign that a youth is ‘at risk’ is an attempt. 24 years ago, Jackie Simmons, Mission Driven Mentor and Co-Founder of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, experienced this first-hand as the parent of a child who thankfully survived.

TSPS offers free webinars, powerful 6 step suicide prevention conversation scripts, and 2 Day suicide prevention summits with the goal of getting ahead of the rising tide of suicide.

About the Guest:

Jackie believes everyone deserves help, support, and community, so she’s creating a community of Advocates. Advocates are those people who never quit on themselves and never give up on anyone else. Her mission: Make suicide a thing of the past. Everyone deserves someone who believes in them more than they believe in themselves, so she’s creating conversations that matter. Simple skills that make connecting with others easy and keep conflicts from becoming contagious. We’re stronger together so if you know someone, who might know someone, who needs to know that they’re not alone, please share this message.
