With suicide as the second leading cause of death in the U.S. for those between the ages of 10 and 34, the importance of this topic is unmistakable.

This episode of the UCS Wellness Podcast will emphasize the value of 'talking about it' and expressing yourself. We invite you to listen to this valuable conversation between Henry Ford II High School counselor, Catherine Livingston, and KnowResolve Founder and Executive Director, Dennis Liegghio. KnowResolve is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mental health and preventing youth suicides through outreach, advocacy and education.

The UCS Wellness Podcast will be taking a brief break from our regular monthly release schedule for the 2022 summer months. We will return again on September 14th with regular monthly episodes, beginning with the topic: "Our Youth and Vaping." Have an enjoyable, safe summer and be well!
