What an incredible leader!

Admiral Linda Fagan, Commandant of the US Coast Guard, joined us today for an episode of Straight Talk Live.  She has some great ideas for reducing stigma and suicide prevention.

She is serious about protecting the men and women of the Coast Guard and accepts no excuses when it comes to reducing losses.

I was truly in awe- thank you for joining the One More Day team Admiral Fagan!

“Just Talk” “Tell your story”

“Just Talk” “Tell your story”

What an enlightening discussion.

This was one of our most critical Straight Talk events ever! Dr. David Rudd and Dr. Craig Bryan.
 These experts will share current efforts and critical focus areas in reducing suicide across the Veteran, Active Military, and Law Enforcement communities. Among other discussion topics, we will focus on training venues, including peer-to-peer and formal suicide prevention programs, and reducing the stigmas associated with seeking mental health treatment. To raise awareness of this critically important issue, we would be most honored to have the participation of both Active Duty and Veteran senior leadership across our Services and Law Enforcement communities.
 
Thank you.

Join us for for the SEAC (Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs) Ramon Colon-López.
 
How do you deal with the aftermath of combat? How do you switch from combat life and active duty to family life? SEAC Ramón "CZ" Colón-López - Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is partnering with One More Day to share his lived experience and personal battles with mental health. He is here to elicit change around the stigma of mental health along with the Department of Defense. The language military leaders use is changing as we continue to combat the mental health crisis and suicidal ideations. Colón-López mentions that the simple act of lending an ear, being available to hear what is bothering someone, is enough to start the change. He doesn't want to lose this fight against suicide. It's time you get the help you need so you can live a good and productive life.

“Just Talk” “Tell your story”

This amazing man not only ascended to the rank of two-star General but is also a former president of the National Defense University; he is a qualified Airborne-Ranger-Engineer and Strategist, and a graduate of West Point, MIT (Doctorate and two Masters), and the Army and Naval War Colleges. In addition to these accolades, he was twice awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, a Bronze Star, and the Combat Action Badge.
 
 General Martin has been afflicted with bipolar disorder since 2003, maybe earlier. Learn how his condition aided in his ascent to the top ranks of the US Army until it no longer did, and then nearly destroyed him and everything he values. Hear about how the lack of understanding and knowledge about mental illness - combined with stigma - prevented friends, coworkers, and family from stepping in before the condition became uncontrollable. After many years of bipolar-driven success and exhilaration, followed by two years of slogging through ‘bipolar hell’, he is now in the seventh year of his recovery journey. Managing and living with bipolar disorder is a ‘forever war.’
