For Sylvia Harrell and BJ Thomas, convincing young people that waiting just 20 minutes when contemplating suicide is personal. They have both lost children to suicide, and neither of their children gave any indication they were contemplating taking their lives. Sylvia and BJ want to make sure others have the tools to cope when dark moments arise. Listen as they share about  #Giveme20 (https://giveme20.net/) and the positive impact it is having on the mental health of our community. While this is a local program, plans are in the works to expand.  

Sylvia and BJ also talk about their family foundations, Keep the Spark Alive (https://ktsa.org) and Shifting Gears for Reagan (https://shiftinggearsforregan.com/). These women and their families work tirelessly to end teen suicide in our community.
