Trigger warning: this episode contains content about suicide, suicidal attempts, and suicidal ideation. For those who think this would be a trigger to them, we advice you to click away. We also want you to know that we are not professionals, and everything stems from our personal experience; what we share are our personal opinions. If you want professional advice, please seek professional help.

On this episode, my teammates and I cover a sensitive yet important topic: suicide. What takes a person to come to that point? What are the factors for a university student to become suicidal? We also cover questions such as: what are the things to not say to a suicidal person and how should we support someone who is suicidal?

Note: We want you to know that there are always alternatives to suicide and that things will get better if you strive and fight for your life. Some of us on the VV team are living proof of that. Sending everyone our love.
