The Jordan Legacy: The Business of Suicide Prevention | Steve Phillip - 834
Manage episode 437488352 series 2970842
On December 4, 2019, Steve Phillip received the phone call every parent dreads. His son, Jordan Phillip, at 34 years old, had ended his life by suicide.
Jordan wasn't a son, he was a brother, a stepson, a stepbrother, a loving boyfriend, a grandson, an uncle, a cousin and a best friend. He was tall and handsome and turned many a head, male and female. His friends both loved and envied him.
At his funeral they described Jordan as; well-mannered, a great listener, kind and considerate, intelligent, cool but humble, ridiculously handsome, a true gentleman, humorous, “being a friend with him was never a chore”, “he was the person I would usually turn to at difficult times like this”, “he was the best and most loyal friend I ever had”, “He was remarkable in every sense”.
Since that harrowing phone call, Steve has devoted himself to the work of suicide prevention, with the hope that one day no one else will have to receive such a call. In this conversation, Steve shares his journey as a father and as an ever-evolving expert in suicide prevention. He offers crucial insights and education on how we can better support and understand those at risk of suicidal ideation. This is a powerful and valuable discussion about a difficult topic, and Steve has transformed a gut-wrenching tragedy into a meaningful legacy.
