|Brewing Resilience and Sipping Strength, One Cup at a Time  

 

Guest: Venessa Cunningham D.

Host: Tamra Douglas-Atkinson  

 

In this episode, Venessa takes us on a train ride to the USA. A place that looked promising at first, but proved to be much more trying than what she bargained for. Venessa will be explaining to us how someone can 'lose' their resilience and lose themselves.

We learn about different precursors to suicide, and the fact that when someone attempts suicide, they don't always want to die - but they just need a break from the pain.

 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "It gets better, but it also gets worse." - Venessa Cunningham D.----more----
