This podcast is part of WPSC's StigmaFree in Washington initiative, a partnership with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Take the StigmaFree Pledge: end stigma, create hope. In this episode, Anita Sulaiman, Chair of WPSC's Addressing Stigma And Bias Workgroup, talks to Carrie Thompson, teacher, writer and suicide loss survivor and Mark Leeper, Executive Director of Disability Action Center – Northwest, Inc., a suicide survivor, about mental health and suicide. We thank our two guests for their courage and eloquence in sharing their personal stories, giving us a window into what it is like to be struggling with mental illness. What you are about to hear is an incredibly candid and insightful conversation on subjects that, for too long, have been taboo. This interview is refreshingly frank. Some of the difficult questions we tried to answer: Does stigma play a role? How does it impact a person who has a mental health condition? How do you cope? What do they, as a suicide and suicide loss survivor, want people to know? What do they wish people knew? How does one find support? Where do we go from here? Our aim is to lift the veil of stigma on mental illness and suicide and shine a light on the underlying issues, so that those among us who live with mental health conditions can get the support they need to lead healthy lives.

On this episode of the Hope Discovered Podcast our guest is Shannon Ortiz. Shannon is an advocate for survivors of suicide loss. She is most known as the founder of Light After Loss, an organization that is a trauma focused support system for survivors of suicide loss providing hope for healing through education, resources, and support services surrounding the grief and trauma of losing someone to suicide.Recently, Shannon has been excited to announce the opening of the Hope and Healing Center. This location is a center where seeds of Care, Compassion, and Community are planted, nurtured, and grown.During this discussion Shannon talks about the importance of not only suicide prevention, but also the role of postvention in the wake of a death by suicide. The close family members and friends of someone who has died from suicide are at an elevated risk of suicide themselves. We also discuss the challenges of advocating for suicide awareness because of the prevalent stigma around death by suicide. This stigma can often prevent someone who is at risk from seeking help and can impact the survivors of suicide loss as they try to recover. You can find out more about Light After Loss and the Hope and Healing Center at https://lightafterlossstark.org/ The phone number is (330) 846-3630 and the email is lightafterlossstark@gmail.com.
