North Kansas City Schools District had KMBZ radio interview me this morning in my elementary art classroom about suicide prevention and my children’s book #GoodnightMrVincentvanGogh. I wore my SASS-MoKan – Suicide Awareness Survivor Support t-shirt to the school and I’ll be wearing it this Sunday at our 15th Annual Remembrance Walk at Loose Park. Kids and staff wear cancer and diabetes t-shirts to raise awareness on physical health. I thought I would wear my #suicideprevention t-shirt to Nashua Elementary to help raise mental health. Suicide is not a dirty word and it’s ok to talk about it with our kids. Thank you NKCSD for staying #abovetherug ❤️ For more info on this Sunday’s walk visit www.sass-mokan.com

After my husband ended his life I was completely devastated and felt as if I was torn into pieces that could never be put back together. How could life go on? The emotional pain he ended was unknowingly passed onto me. I knew I needed help quickly. I joined a support group called SASS (Suicide Awareness Survivor Support) who supports the ones left behind after a loved one's suicide and also helps raise mental health awareness. I will never get over my husband's death, but I now know that I can get through it, thanks to SASS. I sweep nothing under the rug. By starting an open and honest conversation I hope to help break down the stigmas and start raising mental health awareness. Together we can stay above the rug!
