The Origins of the Nate Chute Foundation:
 
"Nate Chute was a young man who died by suicide when he was 18 years old. He was a local kid here in Whitefish. Really his family, his parents, had that call to action to do something ...(to help his community with suicide prevention)"  4:36
 
Kacy discusses the complexity of suicide but how important connection and support is within communities:
 
"Its sort of funny how complex the issue is and how simple we can boil the solutions down to connection in a lot of ways."   17:38
