    • Mental Health

In this emotionally charged episode of "Rising Beyond the Shadows," our guest, Tressa Larson, shares a deeply personal journey through the heart-wrenching experiences of three individuals reaching their breaking points. At just nine years old, Tressa faced a profound revelation about her grandfather's dark secret, a disclosure that tragically led to his decision to end his life.



The heartache continued when her estranged father, who had only recently re-entered her life, was found with a fatal gunshot wound. The weight of loss and grief carried on as Tressa navigated the complexities of her mother's mental health struggles, culminating in a chilling encounter where she intervened just in time to save her from a life-threatening situation.



In the spirit of healing, Tressa opens up about releasing guilt, understanding the signs of someone in crisis, and the urgent need for open communication about mental health. Join us for a raw and impactful conversation as Tressa bravely shares her story, aiming to break the silence around suicide, promote awareness, and encourage empathy in our communities.
