Joining in person is Mike Mealey, a United States Coast Guard service member, who attempted to die by suicide via shooting himself in the chest. Thankfully, the "special bullet" missed his heart by a 1/16th of an inch...
Mikey discusses the stigma amongst our military community, the exhaustion of wearing a mask to hide our emotions while struggling, and the immediate realization that his suicide attempt failed.
Mikey is now traveling across military units sharing his story and prioritizing mental health awareness amongst our military community.
Thank you so much to Mikey for being vulnerable and sharing this tough message as it makes a huge impact and is saving lives.
