Keep Our Troops Alive: A Conversation with Toby Ramirez-Johnson

In this episode, Brian Beckcom speaks with Toby Ramirez-Johnson,
author and suicide prevention advocate, about mental wellness and
suicide prevention. 



Toby is the author of "The Last Seven Days," a book she wrote
after her brother, a U.S. Army Sergeant who served two tours of
combat in Afghanistan, committed suicide. To raise awareness
about the troubling mental health disparity that many of our
brave servicemen and women face, Toby founded a non-profit
organization called "Keep Our Troops Alive" (K.O.T.A.). Toby's
organization offers a focus on coping and provides support to
families who have experienced the death of a loved one as a
result of suicide.
