“My son was bright, funny, talented, deeply loved, and surrounded by friends. He seemed like the happiest kid on the planet. But beneath that perfect image was pain no one saw - until it was too late.” - Benjamin Pargman (partner, YPO Atlanta Integrated)
Join us for a heartfelt, urgent conversation with a father who lost his son to suicide, without ever seeing it coming. This session addresses the overlooked challenges that love and fear can create and what every parent needs to hear before it's too late. Hear the raw truth about what it’s like to lose a child you believed was thriving. Through the lived experience of a father who thought he was “doing everything right,” we’ll uncover how you, too, can miss the signs, even when your child seems happy, popular, or successful. It’s a personal wake-up call that demonstrates how appearances can be deceiving and how even the most involved parents can overlook what matters most. YPOers will gain tools for deeper connection and reflection and obtain clarity, urgency, and purpose in parenting.
You will exit this session with:
- A new lens for observing what is happening in your families.
- Specific and practical questions to ask and conversations to initiate.
- A deeper understanding of what silence, smiles, and “everything’s fine” can truly signify.
Muster the courage to see what you might not while you still have the opportunity. Register today.
