Let's Talk About Suicide

September is National Suicide Prevention Month so today we’re talking about suicide. One of the biggest misconceptions about suicide is that talking about it plants the idea in someone’s head, but the truth is that talking about suicide is suicide prevention. Hannah shares her experience, the difference between passive and active suicidal ideation, how it feels when you’re in it, how to talk about suicide, and some resources to connect with. You are not alone. We love you.
