It's a big one, ya'll. This topic is near and dear to my heart. I'll share some thoughts (based on my list 15 years post suicide attempt) for those of you who are currently suicidal. We'll talk about individual suicide prevention: how to recognize risk and warning signs, and how to support someone who is suicidal, and what protective factors are. We'll also talk about collective suicide prevention steps. Take a listen, this one's important.
