S2 EP:12 Suicide Prevention Month Special 🫶🏾

Have you ever taken the time to deeply connect with your mental health? Join us as we tackle the all-too-important, yet often overlooked, topic of mental health and suicide prevention. We open up about the invisible battle many of us face daily and reveal essential tools and practices to help navigate through challenging mental health times. 

We want to normalize conversations about mental health. We delve into how isolation, grief, bad relationships, and childhood trauma can fuel suicidal thoughts, and how critical it is to check in not just with ourselves, but our loved ones as well. We also walk you through some effective ways to encourage more honest and open dialogues about mental health. To support you further, we recommend two insightful books – Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess and The Happiness Project – that offer practical help for managing mental health during tough times.

As your hosts, Big Charles and Big Shay, we share our personal strategies for maintaining mental health, emphasizing the importance of having a strong support system and being open when feeling overwhelmed. We talk about the role of maintaining routines, exercise, adequate rest, and social connections in promoting mental health. Above all, we remind you of the significance of Suicide Prevention Month and the lifeline that is the suicide prevention hotline, 988. This conversation could be a lifeline for someone, don't miss it!
