The Power of Hope: Recognizing National Suicide Prevention Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness and remind ourselves that one conversation can save a life. It’s a critical opportunity to move beyond general awareness and into a space of active, compassionate care. Suicide is a complex public health issue, but it is preventable, and the path to healing often starts with a single step: reaching out for help.
Think Outside the Bottle
By Dr. Erin Amato MD
We’re delighted to mark the launch of an exciting new book written by Dr. Erin Amato MD, National Director of Turnwell Mental Health Network, a Leon Capital Group company.
As a psychiatrist, Dr. Amato was trained to treat symptoms of depression with psychotropic medications. But despite multiple rounds of medication and painful side effects, many patients did not get better. In fact, their depression often worsened, leaving them feeling defective and broken—and hopeless.
