A must read for any parent that has a child struggling with mental health issues
This is a very moving book about a young man who was dealt a dirty hand. The book chronicles his life and his attempt to reach out for help at the end, and none was there. As a grandmother who has lost a grandson to suicide it is evident young folks are not getting what they need. The system that should’ve helped Brian failed him. As the title says, they could have saved him. An easy read, I highly recommended it.
