About AnneMoss Rogers
Mental Health Motivational Speaker, Trainer, & Suicide Loss Survivor
One of the most sought-after Mental Health Motivational Speakers, AnneMoss has lived the ultimate tragedy and become an expert on emotional wellness, suicide prevention, and postvention.
Her youngest son, Charles, was the funniest, most popular kid in school. As a teen, he wore the mask of a clown to hide his depression and anxiety and used drugs and alcohol to numb his thoughts of suicide. Ultimately, he became addicted to heroin and took his own life in 2015 at age 20.
AnneMoss’s presentations always start with her powerful story of loss but end with a message of hope and the coping skills she used to heal emotionally. Authentic and real, Anne Moss teaches through stories and her audiences offer her their full rapt attention– often not moving.
The most devastating loss of her life was a turning point. While it took time to accept that purpose with grace, she has never looked back or regretted that decision. AnneMoss’s Books and eBooks | Contact AnneMoss

Your story has inspired me to do everything I can as a doctor to screen for suicide/mental health concerns/and involve the whole family in my work.
