The tragic death of Kyren Lacy, an LSU wide receiver and NFL draft prospect, has prompted his father, Kenny Lacy, to advocate for mental health communication. Following Kyren's apparent suicide at age 24, Kenny has taken to social media urging other parents to proactively engage with their children about emotional wellbeing. He expresses the overwhelming grief of losing his son and highlights the often-invisible nature of mental health struggles. This call to action comes in the wake of Kyren's recent legal troubles related to a fatal accident, which adds further complexity to the family's heartbreak.
Young parents, start talking to your kids at a very early age and make sure they are confident and comfortable confiding in you.
Mental Health is real, and for the most part it's invisible. Don't ignore the signs, even if they may seem small.
This has to be the biggest pill our families have had to swallow, but I know the love and compassion in our families will get us through.
This will never get easier, but we'll learn to live with it.
