I think it goes back to that education key. I think some people don't know that they're not educated. Yeah, absolutely, I mean there's this process of education and learning and trying to do better.
Imagine a world where talking about suicide is as normal as discussing the weather. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos brings together a panel of experts to tackle the urgent issue of suicide prevention, especially in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Joined by Morissa Henn, Community Health Director for Intermountain Healthcare, Kim Meyers, Assistant Director for the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, and Taryn Hiatt, Area Director for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, Maria dives into the 'Live On Suicide Prevention Campaign'. They discuss how increased stress, anxiety, and depression during these times make it crucial to have open conversations about mental health with friends and loved ones.
Taryn Hiatt emphasizes the need for community unity, saying, 'Now more than ever, we need to rally together, quit the division, and focus on our shared human experience.' This episode not only sheds light on the emotional and psychological toll of the pandemic but also addresses how social inequalities exacerbate mental health issues. The experts provide valuable insights on breaking down barriers to seeking help and the importance of language when discussing suicide.
If you're looking for support or want to learn more about suicide prevention, this episode offers a wealth of resources and compassionate advice.
