“This Saturday, September 20th at 8AM, join us live on The 4 Opinions for a powerful conversation in honor of Suicide Prevention Month, only on 89.9 KMOJ The People’s Station.

We’ll be joined by Wellness & Mental Health Coach Edrence Yalley and Dr. Rashida ‘Tranquil Temper’, who will share their wisdom and lived experiences on what it takes to recognize the warning signs, build a culture of support, and create pathways to real healing and hope.

🗣️ Together, we’ll talk about breaking the stigma, addressing disparities, and reminding one another that it’s okay to not be okay—and it’s powerful to ask for help.

This isn’t just another broadcast—it’s a lifeline. A reminder that you are not alone, that your life matters, and that healing is possible.
