Carley and Kaitlyn have a conversation with Greg Sims, a Porter County Council Member, a teacher, and the founder of Porter County Suicide Prevention Task Force. Greg was at a County Council meeting when the county coroner asked for an additional $20,000. When asked why she needed the extra money, she explained that she was doing more autopsies than anticipated because of the increased number of suicides.

This experience dramatically illustrated that there is a problem with suicide in Porter County. Greg shares what he's doing to try to reduce the number of suicides in the county.
