“I think a part of my sadness is that I kind of get stuck inside of it and I don’t know how to reach out,” the “Juice” singer continues. “I was actually posting that as a form of reaching out, to even my friends. The fact of the matter is I do have people to talk to, but I get so sad sometimes I feel like there’s nothing anyone can say. Nobody can walk inside of our body and change your brain around to feel things differently.”

“Mental health and suicide prevention is a year-round initiative at Entercom and we are doing our part to end the stigma by encouraging people to talk,” Entercom’s chief programming officer Pat Paxton said in a statement. “Like millions of others, my family has been impacted by mental health issues and the effect it has on friends and families is devastating. ‘I’m Listening’ is when our vast network of radio stations and digital platforms unite on the same day, at the same time, to ultimately save lives. If we help just one person, our time will have been well spent.”
