48: Garra Lloyd-Lester on Suicide Prevention and Chronic Illness (S2 EP 15)

48: Garra Lloyd-Lester on Suicide Prevention and Chronic Illness (S2 EP 15)

This week on Autoimmune Adventures, we pause for a deeper, more serious conversation during Suicide Prevention Week. For many living with chronic illness, the weight of depression, isolation, and even suicidal thoughts is a hidden struggle—one that deserves to be spoken about with honesty and compassion.

We’re joined by Garra Lloyd-Lester, Coordinator of Community and Coalition Initiatives at the Suicide Prevention Center of New York State. With more than 30 years of experience in the human services field, Garra has dedicated his career to building safer, more connected communities.

Together, we explore:

  • The link between chronic illness and suicide risk

  • Warning signs that loved ones might miss

  • How to reach in and support someone in emotional pain

  • The role of community, peer support, and healthcare providers in prevention

  • Words of hope for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the weight of illness and despair

This episode is both a reminder and a lifeline: you are not alone, you are not a burden, and your story matters.

📞 If you or someone you love is struggling, please call or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
