One of the biggest insights I learned from David is that people who are considering suicide want to talk about it. My role is to be there to listen and to help protect them from immediate harm.
Ever wondered how to approach the difficult topic of suicide? In this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James Powell sits down with David Laskovski, an expert in emergency medical services, to tackle this very issue. David has developed the HELP model, a set of tools designed to assist professionals in Toronto's Emergency Medical Services in intervening and providing support to those who may be suicidal.
But this episode isn't just for professionals; it's for anyone who wants to learn how to create a safe space for these critical conversations. David also shares practical advice on how to take care of yourself while helping others, breaking down the stigma surrounding suicide and mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand more about suicide prevention and how to offer genuine support.
It's an eye-opening discussion that could make all the difference for someone in need.
