Episode #33 Mindful Life Podcast. World Suicide Prevention Day

In Episode number 33 of the Mindful Life Podcast. I talk about suicide prevention. Today September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. Every year here in Australia 8 people a day end their life via suicide. It is the silent killer of our population, and sadly these stats are climbing each year. As a community we all have a role to play, we can help to raise awareness and reduce these stats by equipping ourselves with the knowledge and skills to provide initial support and referral options to those we are concerned about. Asking the right questions and providing a non judgmental listening ear just may just save a life.  Stats in podcast via; Black Dog Institute https://www.suicidepreventionaust.org/world-suicide-prevention-day-2019/ If for any reason, you have found the content of todays podcast triggering or distressing in any way please consider accessing some professional support (Aust only);  Telephone Counselling support  *Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636  *Lifeline 131114  **For serious Mental Health issues-including suicidal behavioural.
