“So many people fall into the trap of wanting to ignore that this is happening at all to somebody.” - Jesse Sheers

In this episode, lived-experience practitioners Jesse Sheers, India Guerrieri and Julie Rickard speak about the importance of breaking the silence and stigma around suicide.

Drawing upon evidence-based theories and their own lived experience they ‘flip the script’ on common myths, offering insights on how to initiate and engage in conversations about suicide. They explore the significance of holding hope for a person and creating a safe space in which someone feeling suicidal can voice their thoughts without judgement.
