Live On: Changing the Conversation Around Suicide Prevention
We're going to focus on hope. We're going to focus on resources: healing our communities, healing people and letting them know where help is available.
How often do we shy away from discussing suicide, even though it's a pressing issue? The Covid-19 pandemic has heightened stress, anxiety, and depression, making these conversations more crucial than ever. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos brings together three experts—Morissa Henn, Kim Meyers, and Taryn Hiatt—to shed light on the Live On Suicide Prevention Campaign.
They dive into the significance of using accurate and compassionate language when talking about suicide, framing it as a public health issue rather than a taboo topic. The discussion underscores the power of community engagement in dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health. By fostering open dialogue and offering hope and resources, the Live On campaign aims to create a culture where seeking help is normalized.
This episode is a heartfelt call to action for anyone looking to support those grappling with mental health challenges. Tune in to discover how you can be part of this vital movement.
