One of the best interviews I’ve ever had on my government-access T.V. show, Frankly Speaking, was with this young lady, Shamera Simpson, Area Director (ME, NH, RI) of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, earlier this week.

In light of all the depression surrounding the Coronavirus and the subsequent quarantine situation following it, May and June are the two biggest months for suicides in America. This young lady just had a ton of facts and statistics regarding suicide prevention.

Discussion topics included: family communication, Internet addiction, iPhone addiction, medications, therapy, and possible red flags on people who might be suicidal. Also, numerous facts and statistics mentioned on its website, AFSP.org , which a lot of folks probably never realized before about suicide. Please feel free to check out that website for yourself.

The biggest annual fundraiser for AFSP, is called, Walk Out of the Darkness event and locally in Nashua, it will take place at Greeley Park on 9/26/20. In New Hampshire, there will also be similar type events scheduled to be held in Portsmouth and Concord earlier in September.

Incidentally, if you or somebody you know is experiencing a possible life-ending crisis or suicidal thoughts, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at: 1 (800) 273-TALK (8255); or Text, TALK to 741741.

Sharon DiFronzo of Screamin Heart records sang the intro and outro theme song for this particular episode.
