At 15 years old Elissa experienced her own challenges, which led to her making an attempt on her own life. Then, 11 years ago, she lost her younger brother to suicide. Elissa discusses resilience, the importance of family and the pragmatism of motherhood.

Roses Radio is a podcast series of open and frank discussions with courageous people who have a lived experience of suicide. We hope the conversations help those who are trying to understand suicide and for many, to understand their own experience. Join us today for a deeply personal and sometimes confronting journey that we hope will leave you feeling inspired and uplifted.
