That language shift is happening because we're trying to get rid of stigma, we're trying to get rid of shame and we're trying to have an open, honest, non-hurtful communication in our communities.
Suicide prevention is a topic that can feel heavy, but it’s also incredibly important. In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield sits down with Lisa from Kiersten's Ride to discuss how we can all play a part in preventing suicide and promoting mental health education.

They also dive into the often-overlooked stigma surrounding substance use disorder and suicide, shedding light on how changing our language can make a big difference. This episode isn't just about awareness; it's about action. Corey and Lisa highlight the impact of peer recovery coaches and the importance of creating supportive environments for those struggling with mental health issues.
Whether you’re someone in recovery, a family member, or just someone who wants to make a difference, this conversation is packed with insights that can help you understand and contribute to suicide prevention efforts. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these critical issues and find out how you can be part of the solution.
