#WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Suicide prevention is about a helluva lot more than a day. That said, today has the opportunity to make a difference, just as every day does. To prevent suicide, and to shift the culture of mental health and suicide at-large, we need conversations directly addressing such with depth, nuance, and understanding.
Thanks to powdermagazine for being one of those culture shifters who believes in spreading this message and conversation, and for sharing my Talk from tedxbreckenridge with the ski community.
Link in my story to the POWDER story and link in bio and all over for my TEDx Talk, “How asking for help saved my life—& can change mental health culture.”
Check in on your people today. Tell them you love them. Share a hug.
As a reminder, you can always call 988 for the Suicide Prevention Hotline 24/7, 365. And most importantly, know that you are worthy and deserving of love, hope, understanding, social support, and professional help. I promise you that.
