Using Humor to Talk About Suicide - Frank King

Frank King is a Suicide Prevention Speaker and Trainer and was a writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years. Depression and suicide run in his family. He’s thought about killing himself more times than he can count and he’s fought a lifetime battle with major depressive disorder and chronic suicidality, turning that long dark journey of the soul into five TEDx talks and sharing his lifesaving insights on mental health awareness with associations, corporations, and colleges. He uses his life lessons to start the conversation giving people permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide. And doing it by coming out, as it were, and standing in his truth, and doing it with humor. He believes that where there is humor there is hope, where there is laughter there is life, nobody dies laughing. The right person, at the right time, with the right information, can save a life.
