Progress to Practice
This World Suicide Prevention Day 2025 Special episode explores the three critical mindset shifts that bring suicide prevention from concept to care.
First, the shift from prediction to prevention — moving beyond static categories of “low, medium, high” risk to dynamic, forward-focused conversations that anticipate what lies ahead.
Second, the shift from past to future — learning from history but ensuring time is spent preparing for the immediate days and weeks where safety can truly be shaped.
Third, the shift from deficits to assets — not only naming what is wrong, but reconnecting people to their strengths, values, and relationships that hold them in distress.
Together, these shifts are woven into a deeper transformation: from TOP (The Only Professional) to TAP (Together As Partners). Relational safety grows not through control, but through shared responsibility, dignity, and connection.
This special episode also reflects on Creating Hope Through Action — a new song released on 10 September 2025 to mark World Suicide Prevention Day. Inspired by the idea that hope lives in small, shared actions, the song invites us all to consider how we can nurture hope for ourselves and for others.
We close by setting the stage for the next episode, where we’ll explore the four guiding tasks of the STEPS model: Step, Source, Span, and Scenario — practical anchors for turning mindset into method, and hope into action.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
