Lisa Bien, a professional marketing strategist and Temple Public Relations Professor, created Bouncing Back in an effort to give Temple students and other viewers insight into their own misgivings concerning self worth while presenting real life examples of personal struggle with self acceptance.
Suicide Prevention
Host Lisa Bien helps bring light to an issue that is sometimes considered taboo: suicidal depression. Temple alumna Garden Wellington Logan expresses her feelings of grief and guilt after the suicide of her brother William.
Garden looked to resources such as grief counselors and organizations like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to gain a greater understanding of suicide and its prevention. Joining the two later in the program is psychiatrist Thomas Newmark who gives viewers a list of warning signs that may indicate if a person close to you is contemplating suicide.
