Laura Stack’s 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide on November 20, 2019, from paranoid delusion from using high-potency THC concentrates. Soon afterward, Laura started a 501c3, Johnny’s Ambassadors, to educate parents and teens about the dangers of today’s high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. In this session, Laura will share the story of Johnny’s marijuana addiction from a mother’s point of view, a poignant chronicle of the shocking descent from innocence to eventual suicide. Before marijuana, Johnny was a computer whiz with a 4.0 GPA and a perfect math score on the SAT. After marijuana, he stole his family dog from the home and threatened to kill it without payment from his mother to buy marijuana.
Male Grief and Partner Grief. There are two expressions of grief that are rarely discussed. Grief experienced by Male trauma survivors struggle and Partner Grief. The societal myth that Men don't grieve is a lie that men and women alike have widely bought into. Many believe that if you're a real man, you're supposed to "suck it up and move on." Partner Grief is the loss of fidelity, safety, and financial security. The loss of emotional and spiritual stability. Join Matt as he shares about both and this unique process of recovery.
