| | A Note From Our FounderDr. Michelle Boodoo |
|
| On October 31st, my book Grieving You: Poems of Love and Loss was published on Amazon, just hours before the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention walk in Palm Beach. With final approval and publication in hand, I felt the urge to launch my book at the event, surrounded by people who understood the weight of my journey. The day was filled with tears, gratitude, and quiet moments of healing. Standing among others who carry their own stories of love and loss reminded me that even in the depths of grief, we are never truly alone.
Launching Grieving You at the AFSP walk was both an honor and a profoundly meaningful milestone, one I will carry with me always. |

| On October 10th was World Mental Health Day, a day dedicated to remembering that everyone’s story matters, and everyone deserves support. Be gentle with yourself, be kind to others, and keep showing up with empathy. The world becomes a better place when we care for ourselves and for each other every day, not just on World Mental Health Day. |
|
| | The World is a Better Place with You in itThe world is truly a better place with you in it. Please stay. You are not alone; reach out to someone you trust, such as a family member, friend, or loved one. If you need immediate support, call or text 988 to connect with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. There is always hope, and there are people who care deeply about you. |

You deserve to be heard and supported. If you need support right now, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. The world is brighter with you in it. |

| | Suicide Prevention Works
Suicide prevention works. It begins with awareness, compassion, and connection. Learning the warning signs and checking in on your loved ones can truly make a difference. Sometimes all it takes is a single conversation, a moment of listening, or a gentle reminder that someone cares. You never know whose life you might touch just by reaching out. If you or someone you know is struggling, please call or text 988 to connect with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Help is always available, and hope is always possible. |

You don’t have to face the darkness of depression by yourself. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it’s an act of courage and hope. Talk to someone you trust, reach out to a loved one, or connect with a mental health professional. There is help, healing, and people who care deeply about you. You are not alone, and your story still matters. Ask for help... please. |

| Each year, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) organizes walks at college campuses, parks, and other community spaces across the country. These events raise awareness about the mental health crisis, provide resources for those in need, and create a supportive community for families and friends who have lost a loved one to suicide.
For us, these walks are deeply personal... they give us the chance to honor Kathy’s memory and help break the stigma surrounding mental illness. To find a walk near you, visit the AFSP website and sign up. In Her Name will be at the Stuart event in Florida, on December 13, stop by if you can and say hello. For more information, go to www.afsp.org. ❤️
