Healing Through Words: Unveiling the Silence Surrounding Suicide
In this compelling episode, we delve into the journey of Helen, an ambassador for the Zero Suicide Alliance. Helen shares her poignant story of losing her brother David to suicide in 1981 and reflects on the 44-year journey of healing and advocacy for suicide prevention. Through her experiences, Helen emphasizes the importance of open conversations about mental health and the transformative power of writing in processing grief. Join us as we explore the significant impact of family, the challenges of confronting societal taboos, and the ways in which Helen has worked to help others through her writing and speaking engagements. This episode offers a heartfelt perspective on resilience, growth, and the enduring human spirit.
