Paxton Hamrick

My name is Paxton Hamrick. Over the past several years my family has been directly effected by suicide multiple times. Several of my cousins, as well as my uncle, have suffered from mental health issues and have unfortunately taken their own lives. Earlier this year I lost my cousin to suicide. He and I were actually more like siblings. As my family and I dealt with the effects his death, it brought to our attention the seriousness surrounding mental health issues and suicide awareness. I want to reach out and connect with those who may be struggling, and offer reassurance that there is help and people really do care.
