Today’s guest is Chad Starr, an Army Veteran and advocate for youth mental health and suicide prevention. Chad and I talk about his time in the military, how he has taken steps to care for his own mental health, and what life has been like since transitioning out of service for him and his family. Chad also opens up about the death of their 12-year-old daughter to suicide, and the inspiring work he does now to help prevent future loss.

As a disclaimer, this episode will discuss suicide, which may be triggering for some listeners. So please remember, if you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, please reach out to 988 through text or talk and get help now.
