We got to get rid of the shame...human life, you can't put a price on it at any cost.
Imagine living in a world where talking about suicide isn't shrouded in shame. That's exactly what Fonda Bryant aims to create in this heartfelt episode of the W.A.R. Podcast. Drawing from her own experiences as a survivor and advocate, Fonda passionately discusses the urgency of addressing suicide openly and empathetically. She argues that our society tends to react only when tragedy strikes someone famous, but this shouldn't be the case.
Every life matters, and the conversation around suicide needs to be ongoing and inclusive. Through poignant stories and eye-opening statistics, Fonda breaks down the stigma surrounding suicide and mental health. She highlights how simple acts of kindness and genuine concern can be lifesaving. Fonda also talks about the importance of QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Suicide Prevention Training, encouraging everyone to take this free course to better support those in crisis.
The episode doesn't shy away from the pain but also offers hope and practical advice for those struggling with mental health issues. Fonda’s message is clear: empathy and education can save lives. Tune in for a powerful discussion that could change the way you think about mental health and suicide prevention.
