The director of the Maryland Mental Hygiene Administration, Brian Hepburn, and Dave Goldman, chief of the Baltimore County Bureau of Behavioral Health, asked us to publish this information in the wake of our story on a steelworker suicide.

“We are saddened by the death of Mr. Jennings. We would like to express our sympathy to his family and friends. In The Baltimore Brew article, Mr. Jennings’ daughter, Jeanne Jennings, has encouraged others to ask for help if needed.

“Please use the resources below if you are feeling the need to talk to someone or if you feel your loved one would benefit from talking to someone.”
