A brother's experience with suicide

Suicide is a topic that effects everyone.

We, at “Removing Addiction and Healing Mental Health”, believe it’s everybody’s responsibility to help prevent suicide and to ask the tough questions and to be able to provide support to people that are feeling that life is no longer worth living..

We understand, that not all people possess the capabilities to support people professionally, however by providing opportunities for people to get help, you’re helping to prevent suicide.

In this weeks episode of Removing Addiction & Healing Mental Health we have Justin from The Cheesecake Man Melbourne talking about his brothers suicide.

It’s raw,  it’s authentic and we hope this opens the conversation to prevent suicide in your family, and among friends and colleagues with the many suicides, as a result of COVID-19.

Our DM's are always open and believe every life is worth saving. If you need help, please reach out.

Love always,

Mike and Jess xxx
