Mother channels grief over son's suicide into mission of mental health awareness
Briefly

Donna's journey following her son James' suicide emphasizes that external appearances can be misleading. 'Just because you have a person who is handsome, popular, and funny, it doesn't mean that they're OK,' she shared, highlighting the importance of addressing mental health awareness.
Through founding James' Warriors, Donna is turning her grief into action, visiting schools and organizations to foster discussions on mental health, saying, 'Talk about the things we should be talking about.' It reinforces the need to engage with the community.
Donna expresses that founding James' Warriors has been profoundly healing: 'Although I was not able to save my child, I have the opportunity to help others. What could be more healing than that?' This underlines the transformational power of service in the face of tragedy.
