TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses suicide and its affects on a community.To say the residents of Corryong have been doing it tough since the bushfires would be an understatements.  If you've been listening to the podcast you would have been with us through it all; bushfires, lockdown(S) and the flow on affects of life.What we haven's shared with you is the brutal and heartbreaking reality of the current state of events in Corryong. If you dont know, Corryong is the gorgeous home of The Man From Snowy River on the border of VIC and NSW with a population of approx 1200. Small. Everyone knows everyone. If you visit, everyone knows you're a tourist. It's hard to even write this because it becomes more of a reality... but that's exactly why we should. Over the past 14 months Corryong have lost three young lives to suicide. THREE. In 14 months! They've also experienced 2 tragic deaths in that time of, again, young members of their community. Given her passion for serving her community, Bec really wanted to open up a conversation about this and we both wanted to raise awareness to what is going on as well as some new information we learned about suicide, what to look out for and how we can help.  We have both grown up with close friends who experienced mental health issues and its only now, as adults, we realise how much we took on. We're hoping that talking about that will start a conversation with people currently going through it, their kids, their friends and anyone who needs it. Let's be clear, there is no 'outcome' to this weeks episode. Its talking, feeling and walking through it together. You wont 'enjoy' it. Some of it will be tough to listen to. But its important. So important. If you or anyone you know is suffering please call LIFELINE on 13 11 14 Love and hugs, Ahttp://www.instagram.com/controlalt.delhttp://www.instagram.com/commitmentfitnesspthttp://www.instagram.com/amanda_hodgson_
