*This episode discusses suicide, grief and the challenges of menopause, which may be challenging for some listeners. Please take care when listening.
Ingrid Kennerley has always had a passion for connection, whether that be in community for bringing pieces of fabric together to give them new life. Ingrid is a loving Mum, an active community member and a passionate mentor for people navigating grief; especially due to suicide. Life has many ups and downs and Ingrid does her best to ride them all with the optimism that, with the support of family and friends, she's got this... and she knows that you have got this too!
If you are concerned about someone who is struggling and finding it difficult to see their way out of mental challenges then we highly recommend Question. Persuade. Refer. QPR training, which Emma and Lain talked about in the first episode of Season 1. You can access the training here. Type in the code CSA to take the training free of cost. This training is funded by Country SA PHN. We thank them for their support in the Suicide Prevention space- an area we believe is important to put energy towards.
