275_I Suddenly Had Hope

As a teen, Lacey's depression and suicidal thoughts were so pervasive that she did not know if she would live past the age of 16.

She is now a social worker helping others.

Lacey shares about her family's inability to speak openly about mental-health challenges before she opened that conversational door.  She credits her grandmother, who then disclosed the generations-long family history of depression, which allowed Lacey to have hope for a future.
