Blog Author: Ashley Guadalupe, Intern Counselor For many the conversation around suicide is still a taboo subject. However, it is one that needs to be had.

On the contrary, talking about it provides the individual struggling with what they need most: a listening ear, to be seen and heard, and a reminder that there is still hope.
