Dennis Gillan

Dennis Gillan is a national thought leader on the topic of suicide prevention and mental health advocacy. He has been deeply touched by suicide after the losses of two of his brothers to suicide, 11 years apart. After years of sitting on the sidelines, he jumped into helping those in need by working on the suicide prevention hotline when he lived in Chicago. After moving to South Carolina, Dennis got involved with several non-profits that take on mental health issues, which allows him to lobby lawmakers and raise awareness by sharing his story.
