Sandy Fisher: If I Knew Then What I Know Now (Loss By Suicide)

There is something to be said about a mother’s intuition. Sandy Fisher knew something was wrong the day her 18-year-old son, Scott Junior, died by suicide. He had just entered college. Now, after 18 years of grieving his loss, and even an attempted suicide herself, she is courageously sharing her experience and knowledge. Her mission? To help students, parents, friends, and educators recognize the warning signs, ask the right questions, and seek help. Dial 988: Suicide and Crisis LifelineSuicide prevention and educational resources shared in this podcast:Maine Suicide Prevention: NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness): namimaine.orgAmerican Foundation of Suicide Prevention: afsp.orgSuicide Prevention/Education in Maine Schools: namimaine.org/suicide-prevention/suicide-prevention-in-schoolsWhat did you think?
