Lean Local with Jim Schmitt returns to WGBW!
In this episode, Jim speaks with Sarah Donovan and Jenny Younk from the Brown County Coalition for Suicide Prevention about their work organizing the “Be the Light” Suicide Walk in Green Bay (with more than 1,500 attendees).

They discuss:

  • Why suicide prevention in Green Bay requires community, connection, and breaking stigma
  • How 988 and local crisis resources save lives
  • Why are older men most at risk
  • Ways to get involved through QPR trainings and coalition efforts

This conversation highlights the power of local action during Suicide Prevention Month and beyond.
