If Your Dog Is Your Reason To Stay (In Honour of Suicide Awareness Month)

September 24, 2024 • Dr Holly Tett, Paws Up Dogs • Episode 81

Trigger Warning: This episode has a general discussion about suicide.

September is World Suicide Awareness Month.

This is such an important topic to raise awareness for, because there is STILL a stigma around poor mental wellbeing or mental health.

Suicide is one of those topics that many people are scared to talk about, whether you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings, or someone is telling you that they are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings.

The world has thankfully moved on in being able to discuss things like depression or anxiety more openly. However, sadly, there are MANY mental health related topics that are still very much taboo. Suicide is one of them.

In talking about it, I hope that fewer people feel alone with these feelings, because it truly can be an experience ANY of us can go through, plus what better way than to put a doggie spin on things!
