“I just felt like life could not get any better, everything that was happening to me was never going to change, and I tried to take my own life,” said Brown.

Brown’s friends intervened to help him address his mental health problems and ensure his safety. “If it wasn’t for my best friends Raymond and Tre calling the ambulance, getting me off that couch, I probably would not be here today.”
