Today I am joined by Barbara Legere.
We discuss guilt, shame, children, suicide, substance use, and how all of that has impacted her life.
Barbara is the author of "Keven's Choice - A Mother's Journey Through Her Son's Mental Illness, Addiction, and Suicide" and the upcoming "Talk to Me, I'm Grieving - Supportive Ways to Help Someone Through Grief."
She advocates for harm reduction, MAT (medically assisted treatment), and ending the stigma towards substance abuse and mental health issues.
After losing her son, Keven, to suicide, her passion has been reaching out to other grievers to offer support and understanding through her writing and as a volunteer for TIP (Traumatic Intervention Program).
You can learn more about Barbara, her work, additional resources, and links to her books on her website www.barbaralegere.com
