Mental health issues are being discussed more today and an opportunity to hear from someone who has dealt with Ptsd and thoughts of suicide comes up Sunday and Monday at the Event Center in DeSmet. Scott Geiselhart is a 20 year veteran firefighter, father and former auto repair shop owner. He is a Ptsd, meth and suicide attempt survivor. Geiselhart started speaking several years ago about how his years as a first responder and the effect on his mental health. He gives us a background of that work.
