We're losing over people in America to suicide every year, and each and every one of us can make a big difference.
Ever wondered how a simple conversation can save a life? In this gripping episode, 'To Write Love on Her Arms' shares an unforgettable story from the 'Last Day' podcast. You'll hear about Sergeant Kevin Briggs, known as the guardian of the Golden Gate Bridge, and Kevin Berthia, who found himself on that bridge one fateful day in 2005, ready to end his life.

Briggs, with his calm demeanor and heartfelt words, managed to talk Berthia down, reminding him of the love his family had for him and the milestones yet to come, like his daughter's first birthday. This episode doesn't just recount their story; it dives deep into the importance of empathy, listening, and human connection. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes, just being there for someone can make all the difference.
If you or someone you know is struggling, remember that help is available. Tune in to hear more about this incredible moment and learn how we can all contribute to reducing the rising rate of suicide.
