EmotionallyNaked.com is website and blog focused on talking about suicide and all the underlying causes such as mental illness and addiction. All taboo subjects.
I do so in memory of my youngest son Charles Aubrey Rogers who died by suicide June 5, 2015 in Richmond, Virginia. He suffered from depression and addiction.
I can’t do this alone. It’s the sharing and the wearing from supporters like you that has made a difference, reached those who are hurting, and saved lives.
Models are part of the village here and talk about suicide and all the issues that cause it including addiction and mental illness.
It’s a team effort. Thanks for being part of the village.
I am an emotionally naked TEDx speaker, and author of the Book, Diary of a Broken Mind and co-author with Kim O'Brien PhD, LICSW of Emotionally Naked: A Teacher's Guide to Preventing Suicide and Recognizing Students at Risk. I raised two boys, Richard and Charles, and lost my younger son, Charles to substance use disorder and suicide on June 5, 2015. I help people foster a culture of connection to prevent suicide, reduce substance misuse and find life after loss. My motivational, training and workshop topics include suicide prevention, addiction, mental illness, coping strategies/resilience, and grief.
As talented and funny as Charles was, letting other people know they matter was his greatest gift. And now the legacy I try and carry forward in my son's memory.
