Our theme This Year has been faith in action, and so we've broken up our segments into four different sections on ways to promote faith in action and suicide prevention.
Faith leaders are stepping up in the fight against suicide, and this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters' brings their efforts into the spotlight. Host Maria Shilaos sits down with Benee Larson, Program Director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Utah, and Travis Baer, a Licensed Social Worker with Family Services at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Together, they unpack the challenges and triumphs faced by faith leaders in 2020, particularly around the sensitive issue of suicide prevention. The conversation centers around the Faith Leaders Summit, an event that gathers religious leaders from across the state to discuss their crucial role in suicide prevention. Topics range from promoting protective behaviors to healing from the loss of a loved one to suicide. The summit also touches on lived experiences and how inclusive actions can make a significant difference.
One of the key points highlighted is how the summit has become more accessible thanks to its virtual format, allowing more faith leaders to participate and benefit from the discussions. Larson and Baer share valuable insights into how faith communities can support individuals struggling with mental health issues and work towards preventing suicide. They also provide information on accessing summit recordings, making it easier for faith leaders to share these vital resources within their communities.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and mental health, offering practical advice and heartfelt stories that underscore the importance of community support in suicide prevention.
