Have you checked up on your friends lately?  The past couple of months have been challenging for all of us. Suicide and self-harm increased by 44% and 71.9% during the lockdown (Shrestha et al., 2021).  Today, as we observe the World Suicide Prevention Day, the #bekshies talk all about #mentalhealth with our guest, Ms. Gela Petines, a mental health advocate. Let's listen in to learn more about mental health!  Check up on your friends. Check up on yourself. And remember, you are not alone. Stay safe, bekshies!
