An unfiltered, yet thoughtful discussion of suicide from two mental heath professionals who just happen to be cousins. In this episode, we discuss the changes in suicide rates, the alarming rise in suicide among youth and young adults, including the most recent suicides of some celebrity young adults.
Suicide is one of those taboo topics that’s begging for a frank and open discussion, and this episode is just the beginning of our discussions. Research shows that prioritizing and having open, honest conversations about mental health on the individual and national levels, implementing practices that reduce suicide risk in clinical and community settings, reducing access to lethal means, and seeking help early and when indicated, can reduce suicide deaths.
If you or someone you know is thinking about harming themselves or having suicidal thoughts please reach out for help! Do not take this lightly. There is a National Suicide Prevention Lifeline that is available 24 hours, and you can reach someone at 800-273-8255. If you don't feel comfortable reaching out to the lifeline then reach out to someone in your life for support. It is ok to ask for help, we ALL need help and support in our lives.
