Dr Steve Arkin is a staff neurologist and father. In 2015 Dr Arkin tragically lost his son by suicide at the young age of 20 and turned tragedy into triumph founding the Speak Up Foundation.
The SPEAK UP Foundation provides education and awareness in our community bridging the gaps between community, schools and parents. We want to encourage open conversations with our children and educate our community about the different signs of children who may be at risk. We hope that you will join our fight and pledge to end the stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide.
