Stop Talking, Start Acting: Addressing the Global Suicide Crisis

We must stop talking about suicide and raising awareness, we must take action, globally.
Why is it that every 20 seconds, someone takes their own life? In this gripping episode of 'From Darkness to Light', host Shama Persson doesn't just ask the tough questions; she demands action. With 1 million lives lost to suicide each year and another 20 million attempts, Shama argues that it's high time we stop merely discussing the issue and start making tangible changes.
Drawing from her own battles with addiction, childhood trauma, and depression, she underscores the critical role of self-love, awareness, and compassion in suicide prevention. Shama passionately advocates for suicide prevention education in schools and the establishment of mental health clinics and crisis centers globally. This episode is a powerful call-to-action, urging listeners to extend their compassion to those around them who might be struggling. If you're ready to move beyond awareness and into action, this episode is a must-listen.
