Far too often the topics of mental illness, depression, and suicide are kept in the dark. In preparation for the American Foundation for Suicide prevention’s “Out of the Darkness” suicide prevention walk in Indianapolis on September 14th, we wanted to have a discussion about suicide and the LGBTQ Communities. Thom Turner and John Proctor joined Lola Palooza to talk about mental illness, suicide and the resources out there to help.

Here are some resources we covered:

Remember that in an emergency, call 911.
