<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m joined by an awesome Dad, who’s sharing his experience with loved ones affected by suicide, addiction, and cancer. Matt Skinner has taken some tough subjects and found a way to bring awareness with sensitivity, compassion, and fun! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He offers some helpful suggestions for starting mental health conversations, like growing a mustache in the month of “MOvember,” eliminating something for 30 days, or trying something new and sharing that experience. These simple challenges can make a world of difference in someone’s life by simply opening up the conversation that can lead to something deeper. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Matt’s passion and motivation for shining a light on these tricky subjects are inspiring!
