S4E9-Safe Talk Podcast – Mythbusters Part 2: Exploring Four More Myths About Suicide
Welcome to another impactful episode of Safe Talk, where Jenny Hunter and Billy Floyd address the vital topic of suicide prevention. In this special second installment of our "Mythbusters" series, Jenny and Billy dive deep into the final four myths about suicide, offering clarity, truth, and actionable insights to dispel harmful misconceptions.
This episode also marks a poignant milestone for the podcast as Billy announces his decision to step back from co-hosting regularly. While he'll continue contributing voiceovers and making guest appearances, Jenny will take the lead moving forward, supported by special guests.
