Why we need to talk about suicide and end the stigma
It’s been my experience that unless someone has actually experienced a loss or an attempt from someone they know and love by suicide, most people put blinders on that’s happening. Why is there a stigma surrounding mental health? Just because we know about something, doesn’t mean that it stops the thing from actually occurring. What’s more crucial is that we are having the conversation.
