    hi: well getting along......a conference will be held in the next few months in N.Y. to discuss the national campaign to educate fire fighters on suicide and depression signs and symptoms.....we have added to the naffvn web site at the bottom a link to the video done by fdny firefighterveteran Jimmy Brown which was developed by the National Institute of Mental Health Campaign on stress and depression in men. Go to the web site and click on the link....click on the window and you can hear in Jimmy's own words what it means to have depression and what he as a firefighter wanted to take on and share with other firefighters.....cheers....shannon
