Is It OK To Talk About Suicide?

Suicide is certainly a topic that is considered very taboo even today. We are continuing to honor Suicide Prevention Month during September with our special guest as she shares her experience of losing a loved one to suicide and talks all about suicide prevention. Join us on this episode of Impact Stigma as we talk with Cicely Alvis, Director of Specialty Services, as she shares her story that brings such an important aspect to how suicide affects those that are left behind. When we talk about stigma on this podcast, we want to take a stand and be the voice that says it’s ok to ask for help. Cicely has worked very hard and used her voice to speak up about suicide and suicide prevention for years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Director of Specialty Services with Frontier Health.

We would like to make sure that our listeners know that if you have someone in your life that maybe dealing with thoughts of suicide or you are inspired at any time during this podcast to reach out for help or feel triggered by this topic, please don’t hesitate to call Frontier Health’s Crisis 24/7 Hotline (877) 928-9062 or the 24 hour National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number (800) -273-8255 and someone will be there to help you. Also, if you have been a past listener you know we are all about candid and sometimes humorous conversations about the stigma surrounding mental and behavioral health issues, so please know that this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis or treatment for mental and behavioral health issues. If you need assistance, please visit the Frontier Health website www.frontierhealth.org for more information.
