On this episode of the podcast, we are shining the spotlight on mental health and suicide. We speak about how a person's mental state can result in suicide. We talk about how a culture of silence, shame and ostracization exacerbates difficult situations. We also speak how community and openness can help someone who is struggling begin a journey of recovery. Finally we advocate for the provision of more suicide support resources in schools and in the wider society.
