3 takeaways from Hall County Schools forum on grief, suicide Hall County Schools held a virtual forum on grief and suicide Feb. 16, 2021, in the wake of two student deaths at Flowery Branch High School.
Judy Brownell from Center Point ended Hall County Schools’ virtual forum on coping with grief by explaining the suicide warning signs she saw with her own son.
When Brownell was 34 and her son was 5, her father committed suicide. Years later her teenage son quit soccer, changed his clothes, friends and behavior.
“He was a happy-go-lucky child, and then all of the sudden all I saw was anger and frustration,” Brownell said.
