Join me in an enlightening episode as I sit down with Dr. Charletta Dennis, the medical director of behavioral health at Priority Health and the lead psychiatrist on staff. Dr. Dennis is a key figure in enhancing access to mental health services across our state, ensuring that Priority Health members receive the right care, at the right time, and in the right place.

Our conversation delves into the crucial topic of suicide prevention. Did you know suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for individuals aged 10–14 and the 3rd for those aged 15-24 in the U.S.? Alarmingly, it stands as the 12th leading cause of death overall. While September marks Suicide Prevention Month, Dr. Dennis and I emphasize the importance of discussing mental health and suicide year-round. These conversations can offer essential love and support to those in need.

Dr. Dennis shares valuable insights on recognizing the warning signs of mental health struggles and guides parents, family members, and caregivers on how to provide effective support. I also open up about the personal tragedy of losing my younger brother to suicide, underscoring the importance of these discussions.

If you're struggling, remember you're not alone. Reach out for support by calling or texting 988, chatting at 988lifeline.org, or dialing the number on the back of your Priority Health membership card.

Tune in to this powerful episode—your mental health matters.
