Community advocates rally to raise awareness of mental health causes

Hilary Aster, the executive director of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, joined The Four on KTVU to discuss the legacy of Zane Templin, a 24-year-old from Santa Rosa who died by suicide. Temlin's parents have turned their heartbreak into action, creating an organization dedicated to mental health causes. The work culminates in an annual High Heels for Hope fundraiser. Aster emphasized that suicide is a preventable public health issue and urged community members to watch for behavioral changes, initiate tough conversations, and utilize AFSP educational programs.
