On Episode 024 of The Pernosophy Podcast, I’m joined by CEO of Suicide Prevention Australia, Nieves Murray. We explore the topic regarding the stigma of depression. In doing so, we touch on topics ranging from how to discuss mental health with loved ones, how powerful your own intervention can be, the glorification of suicide via the media, statistics, and what steps can be put in play to help an individual that is suffering from mental health issues.
If you’d like to check out the work Nieves and her team are doing, check out suicidepreventionaust.org. Also be sure to follow @SuicidePrevAU and @nievesmurray on Twitter.
