For Years, I've described suicide as the fatal result of a restricted perspective.
How do we talk about something as heavy as suicide with compassion and care? This episode of 'To Write Love on Her Arms' dives deep into this critical topic with the help of Shelby Rowe, a leading voice in suicide prevention. Shelby isn't just an expert; she's also a survivor and an award-winning advocate. She brings a wealth of experience and a heartfelt perspective to the conversation.
The episode covers how language shapes our understanding of suicide, the importance of caring for ourselves and others, and why social connections are crucial in preventing tragedy. Shelby also highlights the higher suicide rates in BIPOC communities and the need for tailored support. One poignant moment is when she describes suicide as the fatal result of a restricted perspective, urging us to approach the issue with more empathy and understanding.
This episode is not just informative but also a call to action to change how we talk about and care for those struggling with suicidal thoughts. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to make a difference.
