In this week's episode Carrie and Davie interviewed Dennis, who has been a member of S.T.E.P. by S.T.E.P., Inc. for over a year now, and shared his story for the first time with us. Dennis's story begins with a dark time in his life when he was on suicide watch, but he shares with us everything that helped him cope. Dennis's experiences have motivated him to begin work as a mental health advocate, and in today's episode he shares some of the things that help him get through his most difficult days.
