Topic: "What Increases the Risk of Suicide"
People really don't want to end their lives... They really just want the pain to end.
Speaker: Kate Keleher is a Certified Suicide Prevention, Trauma Informed Care Advocate. She also was a single mother to three wonderful children and now is gleefully, a grandmother of four!
Ms. Keleher has traveled the country for the last 20 years working and helping people and families who are struggling, hurting, hopeless and often in crisis not knowing where to go or how to make the pain, stop.
Not only has Ms. Keleher worked and helped people who have been suicidal, get better and then are able to have a life... she has also had a brother who was lost to suicide and also has experienced the overwhelming sense of wanting to to commit suicide, herself.
Having experienced these overwhelming feelings, first hand and getting 'better' has been the driving force in her life to help others do so, as well.
