Stopping Suicide in its Tracks: The Importance of Risk Assessment and Prevention Strategies
Tune in Monday July 3 for the full episode: Jackie Simmons ON: The 4 Questions To Help You Talk With Your Child About Suicide
Jackie Simmons is the director of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, a TEDx speaker, 8x international number one best-selling author, and the host of the Your Brain ON Positive podcast
Author and International Speaker, Jackie Simmons, believes in tackling complex and challenging topics and making sense out of them.
When you work with Jackie, she’s going to offer you some different thought processes. Jackie always shares alternatives to get you unstuck, find out what’s true and what’s not true – spot the elephant in the room – so that you can have what you want and what you deserve.
As the creator of Conscious Transformational Coaching, Jackie believes you deserve to experience life, and yourself, as amazing every day.
As the director of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, Jackie knows life doesn’t always give us times to experience ourselves as amazing. Sometimes, life hands us the opposite.
On August 3, 2019, Jackie was shaken to the core.
In a short 7-minute talk, Jackie’s daughter Stephanie revealed the alarming rate of teen suicide attempts in America. As horrifying as 3,000 teen suicide attempts a day was, less than a year later, the Center for Disease Control disclosed that the rate of American young adults struggling with suicidal thoughts had risen to over 25%.
On April 1, 2020, Jackie and her daughters co-founded the non-profit, Teen Suicide Prevention Society and launched the mission to break the silence on suicide.
The mission has grown to include three books, two pure-prevention programs, and “The Talk That Saves Lives”” which Jackie presented at TEDx TenayaPaseo in Las Vegas. Please join the movement to end suicide. Go to www.TeenSuicidePreventionSociety.com and download the free guide for the talk that saves lives. Then have “The Talk” with a loved one. You never know whose heart you’ll touch or whose life you’ll save.”

I’m your host, Carey Conley. Welcome to Moving Through & Beyond, a podcast dedicated to sharing inspired journeys of redefining your life, your vision purpose after immense hardship and grief.
My guests share how they have personally overcome some of the biggest challenges anyone can ever expect to face. Loss of a loved one, chronic illness, poverty, mental illness and so much more.
About Me: For the last 20+ years I’ve had a flourishing business career which has taken me around the world. Unfortunately, tragedy struck, and everything changed. I lost my husband, Ross, in 2014 and just three years later I lost my son, Cole, at age 26 – both to suicide. After these devastating losses I was faced with a choice. I had to find purpose through despair, or I had to throw in the towel.
I chose purpose. While I enjoyed my business prior to losing Ross and Cole, I knew that this next chapter was calling me to rise to a new level that would make an impact on more people, on a larger scale. I want to help those who feel lost in this world without a purpose, and those who have lost someone tragically or unexpectedly and are now faced with the same decision I faced in 2017.
I am on a mission to save 1 million lives from suicide by helping youth, adults, and parents decipher their life vision and purpose.
I hope you’ll join me.
