In this episode Na'Kole and I discuss - 

- Depression, Trauma, Mental Illness

- Tips on what should you do, and what should you not do.

- Resources she put together to help you help others, save lives, and prevent suicide. 

Pardon my language stating "commit suicide" (which I was made aware of by a colleague post-publishing) instead of "Died by suicide". In my effort to destigmatize mental health issues it's important that I correct my shortcomings as I learn and grow through this public platform.
