In this powerful and deeply important episode, we open up a conversation that many still find difficult to have about suicide, and bereavement by suicide.
I’m joined by representatives from the incredible charity SOS Silence of Suicide, whose mission is to challenge stigma, encourage open dialogue, and ensure that no one feels they have to suffer in silence.
Their message is simple yet profound: Stop the Silence, Start the Conversation.
Together, we explore:
The importance of speaking openly about mental health and suicidal thoughts
How silence can be more dangerous than the struggle itself
Support for those bereaved by suicide
How SOS is working to create safe, non-judgmental spaces for anyone in crisis
The transformative power of compassion, listening, and shared humanity
We all open up about our own personal experiences and this episode may be sensitive for some listeners, so please take care while listening.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please know that support is available — you are not alone.
