PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide’s chief executive, Ged Flynn, is joined by Mo Wiltshire (Stonewall), Alex Woolhouse (Mermaids), Reverend Jide Macaulay (House of Rainbow), Professor Katherine Johnson (RMIT University), and Finn Greig (Gendered Intelligence), in celebration of LGBT+ History Month.
In this podcast, the panellists talk about suicide prevention in the LGBT+ community, why LGBT+ History Month is important and what it means to them. We also address key themes of shame and stigma in both the LGBT+ community, and within suicide prevention.
We look at the importance of sharing our stories, of telling our own histories, and how – as a society – we can be better allies. It’s a conversation filled with hope – filled with both lived, and living experience – and an extremely important conversation to have in order to smash the stigma around suicide, and make it part of everyday conversation
