The Suicide Prevention Lady Podcast

In this week's episode I have turned one of my most viral TikTok's into a podcast episode. I'm giving the top 5 things I would do if someone I knew was suicidal. I have used all of these in the past and I hope you find them useful as well.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Aresh Assadi, a licensed counselor and Director of Counseling Services at UA Little Rock, about masculinity and suicide. He gives great insight about how mental illness affects men and gives tips on how to navigate the shame and stigma for this population.
