The Promise 2 Live - The Maeband Podcast Episode 32

Every 40 seconds someone takes their own life. In that same amount of time, someone can make the Promise2Live. Studies show that people are more likely to stick to a commitment when they promise to do so. Bryan and Holly welcome Brandy Vega, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and mother, whose daughter attempted to take her own life on multiple occasions. Together they discuss the importance of checking on the mental health of your friends and loved ones and the dire need to stop the stigma surrounding mental health. The Promise2Live Challenge empowers individuals to (1) make a promise, whether or not they are struggling, that if they EVER feel sad, depressed, hopeless, or suicidal that they will reach out to a friend, family member, trusted resource, or call/text 988! And (2) share on social media. Visit https://promise2live.org/ to join with others in making the Promise2Live. Tune in to the worldwide Promise2Live livestream event on September 10th at https://promise2live.org. The event features actors, musicians, and influencers in collaboration to help everyone Find The Light, Stop the Stigma, Start Conversations & Save Lives!
