Agnes McKeen is the founder of Just Talk Suicide Prevention, which she started one year after losing her 16-year-old son, Harrison, to suicide. Just Talk is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to opening the lines of communication surrounding suicide through education, honest conversations, and sharing stories while spreading hope and healing for those who have lost a loved one to suicide, those who struggle with suicidal ideation, and the people who support them. McKeen and Just Talk are working to educate the community that it is OK to “just talk” about suicide and to become a pillar in Klamath County, Oregon, as a resource for suicide prevention.
