About Dr. Tullis:

Ken Tullis, a survivor of seven suicide attempts and multiple addictions, is an award-winning psychiatrist specializing in addictions. In 1999 he received the prestigious Diamond Award for life-time contributions to the field of mental health, presented by the Mental Health Association of the Mid-South. Dr. and Mrs. Tullis received the 2005 Humanitarian Award for their dedication to suicide prevention, presented by the Organization for Attempters and Survivors of Suicide in Interfaith Services.

Dr. Tullis is a Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine and a founding member of the American Academy of Psychiatrists in Alcoholism and Addictions. He has dedicated his life to helping impaired physicians and served on his state's Physicians Health Peer Review Committee.

In May 1996, Dr. Tullis, along with fifteen other survivors of suicide attempts, founded Suicide Anonymous, the first-ever twelve step program for people struggling with suicide.

Dr. Tullis is the author of The Courage to Live Workbook, a groundbreaking companion to his first book, Seduction of Suicide, written under the pen name Kevin Taylor, M.D.. He recently published his new book, Secrets of Suicide, Healing the Hidden Wounds that Lead Us to Suicide.

With his wife, Madge, Dr. Tullis appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, "Successful People Who Attempted Suicide." The Tullises organized and co-chaired Tennessee's first-ever Suicide Prevention Conference in cooperation with Surgeon General David Satcher and their state's Department of Health. Together with the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, they founded the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN), which has become a model for other states.

Madge and Ken continue to be very active in suicide prevention nationally and in their home state of Tennessee. They are strong advocates for helping survivors of suicide attempts and are frequent speakers on this topic at state and national Suicide Prevention Conferences.
