Mending Piece by Piece - Grief with Linda Falasco

No parent expects to lose a child.
Michael Straley has lost two.

Through the pain of losing his children, he has had to navigate a level of grief most people cannot imagine.

Like many men, he could have stayed silent in that pain.
Instead, he chose to speak about it — to help other families facing addiction, loss, and grief feel less alone.

At the Breaking the Silence: Men’s Mental Health & Grief Summit, Michael will share what that journey has really looked like.
Not the version people see on the outside…but the reality of carrying loss and continuing to show up.

If you’ve experienced loss, or are struggling with the weight of something you don’t talk about…this conversation is for you.
🗓 April 11 - Virtual

You don’t have to talk.
You don’t have to turn your camera on.
But you don’t have to carry it alone.

There are a few scholarships left. If cost is a barrier, please reach out confidentially at mendingpiecebypiece@lindafalscolcsw.com

Losing your partner changes everything.
Dr. EJ Hanhart knows this experience personally.
As a widower, caregiver, and someone who has worked in high-stress, frontline roles, he understands the kind of grief that doesn’t always get talked about — especially among men.

The kind where you’re expected to keep going.
To stay strong.
To handle things.
But inside, everything has changed.

At the Breaking the Silence: Men’s Mental Health & Grief Summit, Dr. EJ will share what grief, loss, and resilience have looked like in his own life — and what it means to navigate that as a man.

If you’ve experienced loss, stress, or the pressure to carry everything on your own...you are not alone.

From the outside, Jim Rinere looked like he had it all together.
Division 1 athlete.CEO.Successful career.
But behind that, he had been struggling with anxiety and depression since childhood.
Like many men, he didn’t talk about it.
He pushed through.Stayed busy.Tried to handle it on his own.
Until he couldn’t anymore.
At the Breaking the Silence: Men’s Mental Health & Grief Summit, Jim will share what that experience actually looked like — and what changed when he finally stopped carrying it alone.
If any part of that sounds familiar…this conversation is for you.

Mending Piece by Piece - Grief with Linda Falasco

Will you join us? If you’ve been carrying sadness, anxiety, anger, stress, or grief quietly — this is for you.

Nearly 1 in 5 men live with a mental health condition.Yet most don’t receive care.

Depression in men doesn’t always look like sadness.It often shows up as:• Irritability• Overworking• Numbness• Substance use• Silence

Many men don’t know if what they’re feeling is “stress” or something more.

You are not weak.You are not broken.You are not alone.

On April 11, we are creating a space where men can speak honestly — without judgment, without performance, without having to “stay strong.”

This is prevention through conversation and connection.

Many men don’t say, “I’m depressed.”
They say, “I’m just tired.”
“I’m just stressed.”
“I’m fine.”

Nearly 1 in 5 men live with a mental health condition — and too many suffer in silence.

On April 11, we’re creating a structured, clinician-led space for men to talk honestly about grief, stress, and mental health.
