This episode of Integrated Wisdom honours World Suicide Prevention Day by exploring the role spirituality can play in suicide prevention.

Drawing on research by Dr. Lisa Miller and others, I share why a strong spiritual connection is linked to lower suicide risk, greater resilience, and the ability to find meaning in suffering. I also explore how perspectives from near-death experience research and stories from clinical practice reveal something essential: when we understand ourselves as spiritual beings, challenges take on new meaning, and even the darkest struggles can be reframed as part of a larger process of growth.

You’ll learn:

• Why spirituality protects against hopelessness and suicide risk
• What near-death experience research suggests about life and purpose
• Practical ways to strengthen your spiritual core as a source of resilience

As this year’s theme reminds us, it’s time to change the narrative on suicide. May this episode offer hope, meaning, and a reminder that you are not alone.

👉 Next week: how spirituality could help us heal some of today’s greatest global challenges.
