With Sue Alexander

Behavioral Euthanasia with Sue Alexander

Behavioral Euthanasia isn’t an easy topic. If you’ve been through it, or know someone who has, you may be wondering what to tell your friends, how to comfort your friend, and how to move on. Sue Alexander and her group, Losing Lulu, is a unique support group for people who’ve had to go through Behavioral Euthanasia. Join us to discuss how to move on and how to support someone who’s gone through this.
