Culture is very much part of my well-being and I think part of that of tribal, of being connected to your culture, as part of your core identity, which I don't think is part of our mainstream American culture.
Imagine surviving a suicide attempt and then dedicating your life to helping others avoid the same fate. That's exactly what Shelby Rowe has done, and she shares her powerful story with Vic Armstrong in this episode of Strong Talk. Shelby opens up about her experiences as a suicide attempt survivor and her impactful work with the Suicide Prevention Research Center.
She dives into how her indigenous heritage has shaped her approach to mental health and suicide prevention, highlighting the unique challenges faced by marginalized communities in accessing these crucial services. Shelby's journey is a testament to resilience and the importance of culturally sensitive care. She emphasizes the need for person-centered approaches, the healing power of spirituality, and the role of education and advocacy in making mental health services more accessible for indigenous people.
This conversation is not just about statistics and strategies; it's a heartfelt discussion that underscores the value of compassion, respect, and dignity in mental health care. Whether you're looking for inspiration, practical advice, or a deeper understanding of the intersection between culture and mental health, this episode offers something for everyone.
