This week on Embracing Life Again, Catherine welcomes Emma White, USA Today’s 2024 Woman of the Year and a passionate mental health advocate. Emma shares her deeply personal story of overcoming depression, bullying, and a life-threatening battle with suicidal thoughts as a teenager.
As the Youth Suicide Prevention Coordinator for Nevada’s Department of Education, Emma draws from her professional expertise and lived experience. She offers parents key behavioral signs to watch for, explains how certain types of humor can signal distress, and underscores the importance of asking direct, sometimes uncomfortable questions.
Emma and Catherine also discuss suicide prevention tools, including the “Bark” app for monitoring kids’ online activity. Emma’s message is clear: You are never alone, and seeking help is a courageous first step.
Tune in for this life-changing conversation about resilience, advocacy, and creating a world where Life Is Worth It.
