Episode 47: Suicide Loss with A.S. King

About this episode

Brooke Carlock interviews A.S. King about the impact of suicide loss and advocacy for teen mental health.

In this episode of The Mourning Coffee Podcast, I’m talking with bestselling author and teen mental health advocate A.S. King, but this conversation is also deeply personal. Amy’s daughter, Gracie, was my student. Gracie died by suicide in 2018, and I'm excited to talk with Amy about what it’s like to live in that reality while continuing to advocate for the very teens she writes for and fights for every day.
