‘Shine’ suicide prevention event hit the right note

As a Marin Suicide Prevention Collaborative volunteer, I recently attended a community event that was truly special. It was called “Shine.” It was created to shine a light on teen mental health and suicide prevention. I am an “angel mom” who lost a teen to suicide. As such, I am filled with gratitude for the awareness the Shine event brings.

Marin has a serious problem with suicide and today’s pressures put our young ones at a heightened risk.
