We will be revisiting with Leslie Weirich’s Podcast.

The message she shared is so important we need to hear it again.

She is a mom on a mission & suicide prevention advocate.

She has shared her story to families in need and presented to groups of thousands, including 4,400 soldiers at Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas. She was featured on TED Talks in March 2022.

She will be airing on Saturday Dec. 17th at 10am EST with us at Saturday Morning Coffee with Lance and Tiffany.

Leslie takes time with us to share the heart-wrenching story about a loving mother and family that lost their son to suicide Sept. 10th, 2016.

We will hear the story of Leslie's son, Austin, who was by world's standards, an overachiever. He did well in school, played in sports, had friends and his family.

The day he took his life no one had expected it.

Please tune in to hear what happened on that day and how Leslie has taken it on as her mission to help educate others.

She shares tips that will be helpful for anyone to prevent suicide.

Take the time to download the Notok app- https://apps.apple.com/us/app/notok/id1322629109

It is a free, and kids upload five contacts into it. It can’t be their friends or someone their own age. It’s preferably someone over the age of 27, a trusted adult. It’s a covenant agreement. If at any time you think you’re going to harm yourself and you’re just having a low day, you click ‘Not Ok’. You have an agreement with the adult that you will stay put, you will not try to harm yourself, you will not do anything until your trusted adult gets to you. That simple, simple tool has saved more young lives than you can imagine.

As Leslie says- "If you can just wait 15 minutes you won't be feeling the same you are right in that moment."

We are here if you ever need someone.
