Episode Synopsis

//TRIGGER WARNING// In honour of WORLD Suicide Prevention Day myself and brave soul Liz Lane of Liz Lane studio got together to have this hard and heavy conversation about mental health, suicidal thoughts and art. Liz is a creative - a poet, musician... using self expression in any and all mediums to heal. She also happens to have Bi-Polar. It has been reported that often the instance between someone taking their own life or not is a mere 1% difference - the power of that 1% is immense. What does that mean for us? It means we need to ask the question 'Are you ok?' It means listening to someone without judgement, without trying to find solutions for them or giving them advice. The truth is Mental Health is a HUGE issue in our communities, and there are great resources out there to help navigate these conversations around suicidal thoughts, for yourself and for the ones you love. Lifeline is on hand 24/7 just call 13 11 14 - The mighty is an amazing online forum, Headspace another great one, especially for youths - if you don’t have strong,  emotionally supportive family and friends THESE organizations are just that and they are FREE! Be kind to yourself today, ask a friend if they’re ok, know that you are NOT alone if you’ve had the feeling that things are out of control or unmanageable but understand that YOUR MIND IS LYING TO YOU when it says death is a better option. Access my FREE 2-part audio DROP THE PRESSURE here.
