Suicide can affect all of us. That is why this week I’m talking all about mental health and suicidality with lived experience practitioner Victoria Lynne Carrier. We discuss ideas like rumination, doom scrolling, self care, mindfulness, lived experience, conversations around suicide, finding support, peer groups, reaching crisis point, calling life line and prevention versus postvention.

Victoria is a lived experience practitioner in the suicide prevention service of LifeConnect and Neami National. Her work focuses on community outreach, training people to better understand suicide and become better prepared to help anybody who might be struggling with mental health and suicidality.
