In this special episode for Suicide Prevention Month, we sit down with licensed social worker Angel Clark Brown to tackle one of the most critical and often misunderstood topics: suicide. Together, we demystify the realities of suicide, exploring why open communication and awareness are key to prevention.

We discuss the importance of recognizing the signs, having difficult yet vital conversations, and the resources available to those in need, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Angel shares her insights on why this issue is so important, not just for those at risk, but for everyone around them.

We’ll also talk about the unique challenges faced by healthcare providers, who are at a higher risk due to the intense pressures of their work. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand suicide prevention and how we can all play a part in saving lives.
