In this episode, I just want to share with you my thoughts about the number of suicide issues in our Detroit Firefighters making three in eight months and I am speechless. We need to make changes and the first is to normalize mental health. If you're in pain, you don't have to hide it, dealing with it is not a weakness, dealing with it is the way through it, so it doesn't resurface in other ways and other areas of your life. website: samantharuth.com FB group: Griefhab IG: @samanthamruth

There are many problems in this world: drugs, gun violence, and racism to name just a few. What they ALL have in common is the fact that people are left suffering. And yet we focus on the solutions to these problems, such as changing gun laws, rather than directing our attention where we can make an immediate difference: helping the survivors. It’s time we address loss, grief, and trauma and the impacts they have in this world. www.samantharuth.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7...
