Episode #138 - Maddie Caldwell (Suicide Prevention Awareness Month)

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.  This is a topic that is extremely important to me, and one I feel very strongly about sharing on this podcast.  Today, I am thrilled to be joined by Maddie Caldwell.  Maddie is a farm kid from Illinois who is open with her mental health struggle and suicide attempts in hope that by sharing her story, she will be able to help others who may be struggling in silence.  As Maddie said at the close of the episode, "When we recover loudly, we keep others from dying quietly."   Contact Info for Maddie Caldwell Facebook Profile Instagram:  @madcaldwell   Links to Topics Mentioned on the Show - By Her Own Hand: A Farm Girl's Miraculous Journey from Death to Hope - Breaking Taboo: Parent's Worst Nightmare, Child's Near-Fatal Decision - Prior podcast episodes on mental health  - National Suicide Prevention Hotline:  988 - Farm Stress & Mental Health:  Where Can You Turn from the National Agricultural Law Center
