In this episode we spotlight the great work of The Jason Foundation.  With 64 community resource centers serving all 50 states, this organization is making an enormous difference in youth suicide prevention. 

We interview Phillip Fulmer who serves as the organizations national spokesperson. Coach Fulmer was the head coach at The University of Tennessee for 17 years where his 1998 team won the National Championship as he was awarded both National and SEC Coach of the Year honors. His .743 winning percentage puts him in the all time top tier of college coaches and he was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. 


We also interview the President of The Jason Foundation, Clark Flatt.  He started the foundation after his son Jason took his own life.  Clark's persistence and dedication have had a major impact in the area of youth suicide prevention.
