Jessica shares the importance of having more open conversations about suicide. "When we hide these things, they have more power. It just feeds into the shame you have about feeling depressed or thinking about suicide. The more you hide it, the more powerful it becomes. If we are talking about it we can shine a little bit of light in the dark spaces that then won't have as much control ".
Jessica talks about her healing and the impact suicide has had on her life. She is an advocate for suicide prevention, education, and having clear communication about mental health.
