LeAnn Hull was born and raised in Phoenix Arizona where she married Clay Hull and together raised four children. While raising their kids, she and Clay owned and operated a construction company named Arizona Window Center for 30 years. Being self-employed allowed them the time to invest in their children’s lives and in the community in which they lived.After the tragic loss of her 16-year-old son in 2012, Andy to suicide, LeAnn founded a non-profit organization called Andy Hull’s Sunshine Foundation. The mission of this group is to raise awareness of the high rate of suicide while providing coping skills to deal with life’s challenges. With a “You Matter!” approach, we offer education, support and encouragement which will lead to lives being saved.LeAnn continues to impact the lives of people all over the world through her “What’s In Your Tool Box?” talk which teaches healthy coping skills using her first hand experience, her certification as a Grief Educator and Mental Health First Aid.In 2019, LeAnn published her book titled, “How To Live When You Want To Die”, which details her journey of survival and trauma leading to a place of hope and healing. In addition, she writes for several monthly newsletters mentoring parents who have lost children in hopes of helping them achieve healing.In 2014 and 2019, LeAnn worked on legislation in Arizona which led to two new laws, signed by the current Governors, mandating suicide education in all the school districts. She continues to be interviewed by various news and radio stations, as a resource on suicide prevention and mental health.LeAnn’s background in construction, as well as her OSHA certifications, lends itself to incorporating her “Toolbox’ talk into the safety programs, workshops and talks.Currently, LeAnn is working on a new book, recording podcasts, writing blogs and is a sought-after trainer for schools and businesses all over the Country.Andy Hull's Sunshine Foundation: Website: https://andyssunshine.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andyhullsunshineInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/andyhullsunshine/Book 'How To Live When You Want To Die': https://amzn.to/43NyrBu ========================================Please consider supporting the podcast here: https://buymeacoffee.com/heroesingriefHeroes in Grief: www.heroesingrief.comContact Tom: tom@heroesingrief.comTom's GriefTalks page (Book Tom as your Guest Speaker): https://www.facebook.com/tombendergrieftalksOur partner 'Get Griefy Magazine': www.getgriefymagazine.comYou also can help support Heroes in Grief by using our affiliate links to wherever you do your online shopping or ordering.
