Finding purpose is how you add meaning to your life. It can be a business venture, passion project, or social justice pursuit. It doesn’t have to be grand and international. It can be simply promoting a cause in a meaningful way. These are the steps I took to find my purpose and I hope these steps help you find yours.
I am an emotionally naked mental health 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 addiction 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 mental health keynotes, training and workshop topics include suicide prevention, addiction, mental illness, anxiety, 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. Mental Health Speakers Website. Trained in ASIST and trainer for the evidence-based 4-hour training for everyone called safeTALK. View all posts by Anne Moss Rogers

I am intrigued. I study law enforcement and correctional officer suicide. Out of our data I developed The FATAL 10, which are emerging themes which contributed to suicide in some way. We further boiled The FATAL 10 down to Purpose and Interpersonal Relationships. These are so important. Thank you for your work.
I am not surprised. Connection and a future are definitely themes in all ages of the thousands who have reached out over the years. Thank you for commenting. And thank you for your work. I have a friend who teaches a course on taming trauma for first responders. She also mentioned those themes.
