-- 9 years ago, Bev’s cousin, Kurt Cobain, front man for the rock band, 
Nirvana, shot himself.    His suicide... the third in Bev’s family .... 
suddenly made the education of others on the topics of youth depression 
and suicide prevention a very personal objective for Bev, and she 
has gone on to become an acclaimed national speaker and trainer on 
those issues.

-- In 1998, Bev wrote the award-winning, When Nothing 
Matters Anymore: A Survival Guide for Depressed Teens, now 
in it’s 5th printing, and considered by the National Institute of 
Mental Health to be a “major step forward” in depression 
education.

-- In 1999, Bev received the first Green Ribbon Award from the 
National Mental Health Association for “Excellence in 
Childhood Depression Education”.

-- Member of the American Association of Suicidology, and of 
the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
