Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, and Trainer wrote for The Tonight Show for 20 years. He’s fought a lifetime battle with Major Depressive Disorder and Chronic Suicidality, turning that long dark journey of the soul into 6 TEDx Talks and sharing his lifesaving insights on Mental Health Awareness with associations, corporations, and colleges. Depression and suicide run in his family. He’s thought about killing himself more times than he can count.
He’s a motivational professional Speaker who uses his life lessons to start the conversation giving people permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide. And doing it by coming out, as it were, standing in his truth, and adding humor to the equation.
Frank believes that where there is humor there is hope, where there is laughter there is life. Nobody dies laughing. The right person, at the right time, with the right information, can save a life.
