In honor of September being National Suicide Prevention Awareness month, we are joined this week by Mirna Pachecho-Walker, LMFT, to help give us insight and her expertise in mental health and specifically suicide awareness and wellness. Sometimes, it is not enough to try and handle what you are going through alone; you are never alone. In this episode, our guest shares a number of valuable tips and resources, we hope, provides you and your loved ones a lifeline in time of need. Mental health is important and we bid you peace and solidarity in your time of need.  Follow us on IG @notyourtypical_karen or email us at ✉️ the.atypical.karen@gmail.com.
