Episode Synopsis

Over 46 thousand lives lost to suicide in one year. For every 1 suicide there were 27 attempts. And Even more people had thoughts about suicide – what we call “suicidal ideation” it’s actually a fairly common human experience. Our mind goes off on a variety of thoughts all day long and it’s actually not uncommon for someone, at some point in their life, to experience a suicidal thought. The big difference is, when it does happen, what do you do with it?In order to make a significant and permanent change in preventing suicide, we need to address it from all aspects of our society. So we have partnered up with singer, songwriter, Alex Boye. Alex took his music and platform to the next level by creating Bend Not Break, a song and music video for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention. Alex and Dr. Alexis combine their skill sets to explore a creative form of suicide prevention – through songwriting and music industry outreach. Hosted on Acast.
