This episode of BRAVE is dedicated to Sophie.

Katie Dunlop is extremely passionate about mental health, and one of the ways she manifests that in the community is by facilitating training by CORES (Community Response to Eliminating Suicide) to ensure that everyone is better able to talk about mental health and suicide and related issues. In this episode, she talks about why the subject matters so much to her and the little ways that everyone can help someone.

Katie's story is just one of the many from our local communities that we hope will inspire you.
