Mental Health Chats: Tony Phipps – Suicide - Do you ‘Really’ Understand it?
Were you aware pre-Covid-19, the statistics for suicide is 15 a day in the UK and 9 a day in Australia? That is more than fatalities on the road. We need to talk about the taboo topic of suicide and not 'brush it under the carpet'. Listen in to this series to understand more.
What advice would you give someone who was thinking of taking their own life? What advice would you give the loved ones of those who have taken their life?
Thank you, Tony Phipps (HSSEQ), a former marine who has first-hand experience of suicide. I have listened to this interview a few times before publishing it. Every time I have felt emotional, as well as relieved that we have people like Tony who are willing to open up conversations about the taboo topic of suicide. Life is precious. We need to support people who have had first-hand experience of suicide.
Let's open up chats and build awareness for anyone suffering from a mental illness. Please like, comment, share, and ask questions. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthfirstaid #wellbeing #anxiety #depression #stress #suicide #support
