Voices For Suicide Prevention

Two educators talk Pride Month and what young people aren't telling their parents

Just about every city, town and county in Ohio is celebrating June and Pride Month.  Columbus hosts one of the largest Pride celebrations in the entire country!   At the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation, we're committed to helping everyone find their true voice and the resources they need for mental health and suicide prevention.   We enthusiastically join the celebration of Pride Month and also realize with any movement, there are still stigmas and stereotypes to break and more coalitions to build.   Our guests this month, Ali Alkhalifa and Brianna Rhodes are many things: activists, educators, artists, and youth leaders.   So let's talk Pride Month, building coalitions, breaking stereotypes, the good and not-so-good of social media, and what young people share with their teachers that they don't share with their parents.
