Mandi talks with Wendy Sefcik, a mother who lost her child to suicide. They reveal the important strategies we can draw on to help prevent suicide in our friends, family and students. Mandi and Wendy provide valuable insight and resources to the listener about suicide and suicide prevention and how to confront the swell of emotion that accompanies the topic. By normalizing and removing the stigma surrounding the discussion of death and suicide, Mandi and Wendy leave listeners better equipped to support people who may be struggling.

Wendy serves as Chair for the NJ Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Council, as NJ Chapter Chair for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Board Member for the Mental Health Association of Monmouth County and their Child Advocacy Committee and is employed as the Suicide Prevention Coordinator for Bergen County. Along with her husband Steve and son Matt, Wendy created Remembering T.J. - A Story of Teen Depression, Lessons and Hope. They have shared their story with over 30,000 people to raise awareness of depression and mood disorders in teens and suicide risk. Wendy also provides hope to those dealing with these issues and to those who have suffered a traumatic loss.
