"Over the course of the past year, I simply heard too many stories of people either taking their own lives or contemplating suicide. I felt I needed to share more widely my own experiences with suicide," Mike Broemmel explained.
During 2014, Mike Broemmel will be speaking at different conferences and conventions and will address topics that include his own experience with depression and suicide. "I really have come to conclude that it is important for people who have been through this type of experience to share their experience publicly. I think that by doing this, people who are despairng may be more willing to reach our for help because they hopefully will experience less shame," Broemmel said.
