Frank started educating and inspiring others about the significance of mental health awareness during his twenty-year career in the New York City Police Department. As a police officer, he helped to create outreach programs that provided mentoring and healthy activities for young people in the community.

This inspired him to speak extensively about suicide awareness and the simple tools that friends, loved ones, and co-workers can use to intervene and potentially save a life.

As a trained Suicide Support Officer and certified breath coach he uses his experience and passion to make the tools for self-care and serenity accessible to a variety of individuals and audiences. Frank’s dynamic speaking style reflects his unique perspective as a veteran of law enforcement, a devotee of Stoic philosophy, and an avid practitioner of meditation and yoga, as well as his enthusiasm for confronting and overcoming challenges with compassion and care.
