Suicide Attempt Survivors: How Do People Treat You? (part 1)

Suicide Attempt Survivors: How Do People Treat You? (part 1)

In this conversation I speak with past guests/survivors Kay and Carrie, discussing their personal experiences with suicide attempts and how they have been treated by others. The conversation explores the complexities of relationships post-attempt, the stigma surrounding mental health, and the importance of open dialogue. Both guests share their journeys towards healing and their aspirations to advocate for change in the narrative surrounding mental health and suicide.

We explore the complexities of discussing mental health and suicide, emphasizing the importance of listening, understanding personal narratives, and breaking cultural silence. They reflect on generational differences in openness about mental health, the need for attention and compassion, and the significance of creating safe spaces for honest dialogue. The discussion highlights the impact of family history on mental health and the evolution of societal attitudes towards these sensitive topics.
