Asking for help can be the hardest thing to do. With September being Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Kevin and Niseema talk about what to do when you or someone you know is contemplating suicide. The pandemic, along with so many other stressors, has made some people feel hopeless and helpless with no other choice. In opening this conversation we hope to normalize the feelings and thoughts that come from feeling that your life, your circumstance will never get better or change. We go through the thoughts and feelings that can lead to suicide, the signs that others may see, how to get help, what help can look like and how to choose a therapist.
