After son's suicide, father sets sight on normalizing discussions around mental health
For Kevin Fischer, it was the stigma around mental health and the need for medication that led to his son taking his own life in 2010. The 23-year-old Dominique had stopped going to therapy and began self-medicating with alcohol and marijuana, before committing suicide. His dad has made it his life's work to normalize discussions around struggling with mental health, especially in the African American community.
