2014 Bring the Conversation to Light

 

 The 2014 Bring the Conversation to Light luncheon was our first luncheon with 700 guests. This was an indication to us that there were many, many people who had either direct or indirect experience with depression and/or suicide. Julie Hersh, the author of “Struck by Living” was the keynote speaker. Julie shared her experience of 3 attempted suicides and her lifelong struggle with depression but left people with a sense of hope that one can still have an incredibly rewarding, productive life even while battling depression. The video from that luncheon includes Jordan’s family and friends, it’s emotional and raw.
