Suicide Prevention - the Darnell Deas, Jr. Story
Talking about suicide is seldom discussed openly. Hear the story about Darnell Deas Jr., a star running back in the Monte Vista Christian School's football program. He considered his athletic ability a gift from God and gave Him all the glory.
His Christian faith, ability and positive attitude make this tragedy even harder to understand.
Providing coping mechanisms and making sure your child is OK are some of the takeaways from this emotional discussion from his mother's perspective.
