September is Suicide Prevention and Awareness month. Did you know one in twenty people will lose someone they know to suicide in any given year? And one in five people will lose someone they know to suicide at any given point in their lifetime. Those are some sobering statistics which is why we brought Curtis back on the show to talk about suicide prevention and help break the stigma surrounding this topic. The more we talk about it, the better we will be at preventing it from happening.
