In honour of World Suicide Prevention Day, we share the story of Don Ritchie, the “Angel of The Gap,” whose quiet compassion saved hundreds of lives. We explore what it really means to be present for someone in crisis, and how connection can be life-saving.
We also look at the real-life Patch Adams, the man behind the movie and why he challenged Hollywood’s portrayal of mental illness. Along the way, we reflect on the loss of Robin Williams, and I share my own lived experience with suicide and what changed the way I think about prevention.
This is a deeply human story about pain, hope, and the importance of community. Join us, and this World Suicide Prevention Day, let’s commit to checking in on each other — because compassion and connection can save lives.
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses suicide, mental illness, and lived experiences of crisis. If this topic is distressing for you, please take care while listening.
