Episode 47 - Why Talking About Suicide Prevention Is Important?

Welcome to another compelling episode of The Just Believe Show! I'm your compassionate host, Herbie Mack, and today, we're delving deep into the critical subject of suicide prevention. As a host dedicated to raising mental health awareness and suicide prevention, I often receive inquiries from various platforms regarding this pressing issue. I'm genuinely honored to address them.

In light of Suicide Prevention Month, we aim to foster essential conversations like these. Recognizing the impossibility of responding to every individual inquiry, in this episode, I'll be addressing a carefully curated selection of questions that offer diverse perspectives on suicide prevention.

Before we dive into this insightful Q&A session, I'd like to take a moment to share a personal reflection. Being a devoted members of the mental health and suicide prevention community, we've recognized the significance of a language shift. We now use the term "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide" to underscore our empathy and respect for the individual and their loved ones. It's time to leave behind outdated language that can perpetuate harm.

With that crucial point in mind, join us as we embark on this enlightening journey. Our first question: What is suicide prevention? Stay tuned as we navigate this complex topic, providing valuable insights on how each one of us can contribute to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. #JustBelieveShow #MentalHealthMatters #TheeSuicidePreventionSpecialist
