Choose to Stay: Teen Voices on Suicide Prevention and Hope

The message of the song would totally be something that I would write about, just as like one of my own songs, and so I really connected with it and my songs.
What happens when three talented teens use their music to tackle one of the most pressing issues today? In this episode of 'The Vegas Therapist', Ryan Wynder sits down with Ben Olsen, Dakota Lotus, and Sophie Pecora, three singer-songwriters who have turned their personal battles into a powerful anthem called 'Choose to Stay'. This isn't just a song; it's a lifeline for those grappling with suicidal thoughts.
Ryan dives into the stories behind the lyrics, exploring how each artist has faced their own struggles and found ways to cope. Dakota talks about channeling positivity through his music, while Sophie opens up about her journey with anxiety and depression. Ben shares the heartfelt inspiration behind 'Choose to Stay' and its impact on listeners. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like the dark side of social media and the importance of seeking help.
Parents, too, are given advice on how to support their children through these challenges. Ryan brings his own expertise as a therapist to the table, offering insights into fostering hope and resilience. Whether you're a teen facing these issues or a parent wanting to understand better, this episode is a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in for an uplifting and informative discussion that could make all the difference.
