Please see below several mental health resources to help you through times of suicidal ideation.
Stories have always been a part of my life. Whether it was the relief from my anxiety that would come from a bedtime story or starting a podcast to tell my own, stories have always been there for me. Storytelling has played a crucial role in how I've been able to navigate difficult times of suicidal ideation and so today's episode is an exploration into the true power of storytelling and its effects on suicidal ideation. In today's episode, I'm humbled to be joined by Sportsnet host Ailish Forfar, renowned podcast producer and storyteller Mia Lobel and psychology graduate Piper Daken.
