Today’s guest is Lawrence Sprung, president and founder of Mitlin Financial, Inc., as well as member of the National Board of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), and the co-founder of the Keith Milano Memorial Fund.
“‘Hey, what’s going on, is there something wrong with you? Can I help in some way? Because that one question could take that person from the deepest, darkest despair and get them on the right path”
“More people are talking about [mental illness] than ever. Which is great, (…) the conversation puts us on the path to healing. But I thing that there are forces out there that are putting our society in a position to be more prone to mental illness.”
“Hopefully one day, AFSP will put themselves out of business, and there won’t be a need for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. That’s really the big audacious call, right? That we put ourselves out of business.”
“We are working on ways to lower the suicide rate by 20% by the year 2025”.
