You Are Not Alone

When Ann Dagle tragically lost her son Brian to suicide in 2011, she channeled her grief into action — becoming a dedicated advocate for suicide prevention and support for those coping with loss. She co-founded The Brian Dagle Foundation as a safe place in the community for people to begin and continue the long road of healing through support groups for the loss of a spouse, a child, loss by suicide, and dedicated resources for young adults, among others.

Ann understands that removing any barriers between support and those who need it is vital to those struggling with depression, addiction, and other mental health matters. She recognizes the importance of the We Are CT initiative, as it assures the people of Connecticut that it’s okay to ask for help. She aims to make all of Connecticut’s mental health and substance use recovery resources more easily accessible to everyone in need.
