Welcome to Starting Conversations, a podcast dedicated to opening up dialogues about mental health and suicide prevention. Each episode explores personal stories, allies in action, expert insights, and practical advice to break the silence and stigma. Join us as we sit down with mental health professionals, survivors, advocates, and everyday people to share their experiences and strategies for coping, healing, and supporting one another. Whether you’re struggling yourself, know someone who is, or want to learn more, Starting Conversations provides a safe, informative, and compassionate space for understanding and hope. Together, let’s start the conversation and work toward a world where mental health is prioritized and where no one feels as if they must face their struggles alone.
