On March 17, 1984, the McLeansboro Foxes completed a dream season by winning the Illinois Class A State Title and finishing 35-0. This book tells the stories about not only the games but also the stories behind the scenes that caused the entire community in Hamilton County and even southern Illinois to follow this team by the thousands.
“Jeff’s book reaches multiple audiences, which is essential in the prevention of suicide. It also serves as a guide on how to address suicide at both the micro and macro levels of mental health.
Finally, it is easy to follow and applies to suicide prevention training and intervention.”

Jeff challenges the stigma around suicide and mental illness by being honest about his own
experiences. Just Live confronts myths, educates on prevention strategies, and most importantly,
provides hope. This is a must-read for both those struggling with a mental illness and their loved
ones.
