Ursula Whiteside is a licensed clinical psychologist, suicide prevention researcher, co-developer of NowMattersNow.org, and one of the first psychologists to publicly disclose that she has experienced suicide ideation. She thinks that lots of people have suicidal thoughts and yet it does not define them – or limit what they can achieve. #ZeroSuicide @UrsulaWhiteside @NowMattersNow
