The rates of suicide have increased tremendously within the Black Community over the past decade. In the first episode of Reflection in Color : Celebrating Journeys to Wellness, we meet Kenny Goudy, mental health advocate for suicide awareness. In this episode we identify 1) symptoms of depression and signs of suicidality, 2) impact of social and familial relationships, and 3) strategies to overcome suicidal thoughts and maintain emotional wellness.
