Amber Molle
Parent/Educator
Carson Molle lives in the small midwest town of Seymour, WI. In 2017 his life changed dramatically when at just 14 years old he attempted suicide. Despite traumatic circumstances Carson lived to share this story. He was left with significant physical injuries, as well as emotional and psychological trauma. In the face of this difficult situation Carson and his family decided early on that they were going to share their journey in order to help others. Now a 21-year-old survivor, Carson has spent the last several years breaking down the stigma surrounding suicide and mental health by sharing the honest and open account of his struggles. It began with talks at local churches, and grew to include Tik Tok and Youtube videos, presentations at area middle and high schools, articles and local news reports, as well as multiple podcasts. Carson has appeared at mental health benefits and fundraisers across the country. He has spoken with members of congress to lobby for increased funding for mental health care in schools and clinics. Carson aspires to continue sharing his story to help others find hope in their fight against mental health illnesses. His greatest hope is to reach the teen population, whom he knows are struggling in record numbers. Carson’s parents have provided support for his advocacy work, as well as presented to parents, teachers, and coaches about what they have learned about teen suicide through this journey. They hope to provide education and support to parents of teens.
