Trigger warning: discussions of suicide

This week we are joined by someone to share two very different stories.

Myfanwy Maple is Professor of Social Work in the School of Health at the University of New England in Armidale.

Her first story is around her area of expertise, where she researches trauma and loss and how we can support those at risk of suicide better.

Her second is the story of her journey to being diagnosed with an auto immune disease.

In this episode Myf shares:

·      Her passion about better understanding the experience of suicide to improve how we support people

·      How there is a need for a better support system around suicide

·      About how personal stories are powerful, and how people’s stories are different from others perspective.

·      The diagnosis of auto immune diseases and how that creates challenges in her life but it’s not a death sentence.

·      Shame, and how you can overcome the shame you have done to yourself. 

·      Why you should be caring and kind to others because we don’t know their story

·     How her job helps Australian’s live, work and play

Key Quotes

“I spend too much time in my head and not in my heart.”

“Not all disability is visible.”

“Do I need to push myself a little bit more and I’ll feel better or if I push myself a little more will I fall over completely. And I still don’t know how to make that calculation.”
