    2025/12/30

    Grief, healing, suicide prevention, mental health, loss, brotherhood, emotional support, and hope take center stage in this powerful conversation with Govan Martin of the Suicide Prevention Alliance.In this episode of Mending Piece by Piece, Govan shares his personal journey after losing his brother Michael to suicide, offering insight into the lifelong nature of grief and the importance of open, honest conversations around mental health.
