Lorne Jaffe shares “5 Reasons Why I’ve Never Committed Suicide”

Lorne Jaffe is a stay-at-home dad who resides in Queens with his wife Elaine and 6-yr-old daughter Sienna. He has struggled with
chronic depression and general anxiety disorder for most of his life. After Sienna was born he decided to chronicle his fight in a blog which led to being chosen as a speaker at the 2014 Dad 2.0 Summit and the realization that he is not alone. Since that day he has become a mental health advocate speaking and holding panels at conferences, high schools and even becoming the first ever male This Is My Brave producer in 2015 in NY. He loves film, baseball, reading, travel, nature and seeing the world through his daughter’s eyes.

Lorne shares his story in the This Is My Brave NYC 2018.
