    Part 2 of the conversation continues with Laura Dellicolli as we discuss more surrounding the topic of mental health, suicide and depression, how we can support those going through a difficult time, and the importance of asking "how are you?"

    As the month of September is Suicide Prevention/Awareness Month, we want to take the time to offer our sincerest support and encouragement to those who may have been affected in some way.

    Speak up, ask for help, and always be kind - you never know what people are going through.
