Bloom in Crisis

❓What should I do if I have suicidal thoughts?
❓After someone commits suicide, what is it like for their loved ones?
❓What can we all do to contribute to suicide prevention and postvention?

Jennie lost her son, Henry, to suicide almost 10 years ago. He was a sophomore studying Art and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. In Jennie’s words: “Henry was the funniest, most creative person I knew. He and I had shared professional interests and he worked as an intern at NVIDIA the summer before he died and planned to intern at Dropbox the following summer.” 

In this episode, our CQO Zip Nguyen and Jennie Baird (EVP and Managing Director in Digital News and Streaming at BBC Studios) will be going through a series of questions chatting about Jennie’s personal story and why we need to continue raising awareness for suicide prevention. Please tune in for an inspiring conversation about how Jennie and her family have been coping with the loss of their loved one, how she #bloomincrisis through her grief and the message that she wants to spread regarding suicide prevention and postvention. 

We also want to spotlight the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Overnight Walk fundraising event. The Overnight Walk runs from dusk to dawn on June 4 in NYC and traverses  over 20 miles around Manhattan to support AFSP to reduce suicide rates by 25% by 2025. Please consider supporting Jennie Baird and her team in the Overnight Walk to raise funds for AFSP – You can join Jennie’s team, or click on “Roster” to help her team members meet their targets here.

Have you ever been in a situation where you know that your loved ones are getting into trouble and you feel nothing but overwhelmed with guilt, because no matter what you do, it’s never enough?

The two-month brutal war happening in Ukraine has brought both pain and suffering to millions and millions of people. Not only did it cause direct damage to people living in Ukraine but it also hurt people who are currently living away from their home country, similar to the situation that our today’s audience has to face. Much as she has made an effort to help her loved ones, whether it is financial support or news spreading, she can’t help but feel guilty because her actions are ‘not enough.’

Our CQO Zip Nguyen has an open conversation with Lana, a young Ukrainian woman currently residing in Canada, who dials in to ask for advice to cope with the feeling of survivor guilt for “not doing enough” as she and many of her Ukrainian friends living overseas are experiencing. Given this tough situation, is there a way that any of us can do to work with our feelings while continuing to provide the support needed for the people we care about?

Listen to our newest episode “How to cope with the feeling of guilt” to find out and learn more about an authentic story shared by one of our Ukrainian listeners. We would love to know what you think after listening to our new episode, and if you’re going through a tough time as well, please don’t hesitate to reach out and share with us your stories. We’re here to help  <3

❓ How to feel more confident in handling conflict in both personal and professional settings?

❓ Is being our most authentic self always pragmatic in solving conflict without taking into account diversity and context?

❓ How can we fuel our personal and professional growth through effective conflict management?

In today’s episode, we welcome back our long-standing special guest speaker Ikechi Okoronkwo to join our CQO Zip Nguyen on an engaging conversation about conflict management. Team BIC is excited to share with you this episode as there are many practical tips we’ve learned to not only minimize the negative consequences of conflict but also to benefit our personal and professional growth!

In this episode, our guest speaker, Evgeniya (Jenya) Prokhno joins us to share the story of how she battled cancer and found her own ways to practice self-care.

We hope that Jenya's inspiring story will not only give you another perspective to consider for your own self-care journey, but it will also help you learn more about how to take care of your loved ones in their difficult times or build up your self-esteem regardless of the unrealistic standards imposed on social media.

Do you ever experience FOMO in either a social or professional scene and how do you manage it?

The Covid-19 pandemic has locked us in our houses and social media became the only way to communicate with the world surrounding us. While life has returned to normal in some cities, we know that many of you are still quarantined in your place.

Our audience in this episode also creates a YouTube channel to make vlogs during her time being in lockdown in Vietnam, which will not only give you an idea of what it's like but also give you a good laugh ➡️ https://bit.ly/justcallmehannah (by @jjustcallmehannah)
