Dr. Strong takes on the topic of Suicide Prevention today.

She covers the importance of open communication and dialogue with regards to this topic, creating safe environments to speak about it, and not shaming someone for having thoughts of suicide. Dr. Strong speaks about identity and reframes how we can change our mindset on how we perceive difficult things we go through. Dr. Strong reviews red flags to help identify someone who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide and how to help them find resources.

We know this is a heavier topic, but we wanted to capitalize on having access to this medium and having the opportunity to have a conversation with an expert to help shed light on suicide prevention.
