I outline common risk factors, including mental disorders, physical ailments, substance abuse, and high-stress situations. I then provide a comprehensive list of strategies and tools to help those struggling with suicidal thoughts or supporting someone who is. These include seeking professional help, regular check-ins, engaging in meaningful activities, limiting access to means, and making healthy lifestyle choices.
I also stress the importance of creating a safety plan, developing coping strategies, and building a support network. I share resources like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line for immediate help.
Throughout the episode, I aim to empower listeners with knowledge and practical advice, encouraging them to approach the topic with empathy and understanding.
