aLive iThrive is a televised concert with artists and leaders publicly discussing depression. aLive will launch the positive depression brand – a color (green – renewal), a symbol (sunflower, seeds for planting in a field of Hope), month (May), and re-emphasize a 1-800 suicide hotline for those in crisis. We will remember those famous and not so famous we have lost and celebrate those that continue to survive. We will share new tools and treatment options.
