I tell everyone, trauma and silence are the deadliest combination you can.

Amanda Hammock, a two-time suicide attempt survivor, has transformed her painful experiences into a powerful voice for suicide awareness and prevention. In this episode of 'From Hurt to Healing', Amanda opens up about her journey from despair to advocacy.
Since 2018, she has been a dedicated advocate, working tirelessly to ensure that the unique perspectives of attempt survivors are included in all conversations about suicide prevention.
