He Lost His Brother to Suicide — Here's How Jim Shoopack Found a Way Forward and Now Helps Others Do the Same

Trigger warning — this episode includes discussion of suicide loss and depression. Jim Shoopack has lived through two of the hardest things a person can face — his own battle with depression and the devastating loss of his brother to suicide. What he built from that grief is not just personal survival but a mission to make mental health support easier to find and harder to stigmatize for everyone who comes after him. What he shares with Stacey Chillemi about his personal journey through depression, what losing his brother taught him about the urgency of mental health advocacy, and the insights he has gained about finding strength and creating positivity in the aftermath of profound loss will give you the most honest and compassionately grounded mental health conversation you have encountered. The silence around mental health costs lives. This episode is one person's commitment to breaking it.
