Sarah Saltiel speaks to an audience of middle school-age students in Marseilles, Illinois about the issue of youth depression and suicidal thoughts. Her focus was the tragic loss of Dylan Wagner six months earlier, when he was 15. Sarah stressed the importance of reaching out for help during times of sadness and hopelessness - that seeking help is a sign of strength, not a weakness. Following her comments, Sarah was joined by two other MWAH! troupe members, Shealeigh Voitl and Alex Oechsel, in singing the Rascal Flatts country ballad 'Why.'
