Podcasts about suicide awareness month

September is Suicide Awareness Month. Approximately 2,000 people die each day by suicide worldwide. Approximately 134 people a day die by suicide in America. Suicide affects three groups of people: those who live with someone who uses the term as a threat, those who wrestle with it themselves, and those who survive the loss of someone they love to suicide. In today's episode, Erica and I talk to all three groups. If you're wrestling with the idea of suicide, please stay. If someone you love is talking about suicide and you're not sure what to do, this podcast is for you. If someone you love has died by suicide, we want you to know we see you too. This podcast is also for you. You all matter, and we hope this episode helps you.

Yo Aunteas are back from a whirlwind weekend taking over New York City, and the tea is piping hot! Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell tackle the viral podcast conversation between Raven-Symoné and Kalen Allen. Did That's So Raven get watered down, or are people unfairly blaming Raven's wife for statements Raven has been making for over a decade? We unpack Hollywood policing Blackness, the green-people argument, and why nostalgic hero worship always gets complicated.    Yo Aunteas also recap their WILD wedding weekend in NYC (Horse Meat Disco may have ruined us for every other party), a $188 US Open ticket disaster, new iPhone rollout, and a real conversation about oversharing, misinformation, how September is Suicide Prevention Month, and a critical deep dive into Out.com's guide on 8 ways adults can show up for LGBTQ+ students this school year.   Was That's So Raven Black culture to you, or Disney-fied for the masses? Drop your thoughts below!

Good Morning Nashville ☀️ NEW MONTH GUYS, WE ARE BACK WITH A NEW EPISODE ‼️Excited and blessed once again to be providing you guys with another episode of the Black Men Vent Too Podcast. Episodes released in the month of September are near and dear to us, as we pay tribute to this month being recognized nationwide as “Suicide Awareness Month.” BMVT honors those who struggle with this, because we understand no matter your race or ethnicity, it is an active thing that people are dealing with day to day. And it's platforms like ours that will continue to highlight these conversations, in an effort to change the stigmas associated with it. With that said … let's get into today's great episode!We're excited guys to be bringing a very underrated, faith driven, and soft spoken young man who surely has a resume that speaks louder than he does. Coming from a family of over 80+ years combined in Pastoring dating back to his grandfather, it's safe to say this brother knows a thing or two about scripture. Myself and my dad are beyond excited to finally have the Pastor of our home church, THE St. James Missionary Baptist Church … none other than Pastor Dr. George T. Brooks, Jr. ⭐️ You guys that follow us week to week know our platform has provided a wide arrangement of guests and backgrounds because we don't shy away from position titles or specific demographics. We understanding that Pastors deal with mental health issues too, and it's too often that we expect them to be perfect. In today's episode, Pastor Brooks, Jr. vents about how there is a lack of concern for church work in today's world. Church as a whole overtime has been the conversation that divides social groups and communities, when it should be the conversation that brings us together. He vents about how in church, you'll have plenty of members, but only a few are dedicated to genuine kingdom building. He also vents about Pastoring and the frustrations that people don't see. One of them being, as a proud father, Pastor Brooks, Jr. shared that he didn't appreciate when he goes to speak at churches and the Pastor of said church speaks out about his children and the way they look. Not knowing that the way they dress, or how their attire is, was birthed through sacrifice and hardships. Social media has also given a controversial eye to what Pastors lives look like, versus how they really are behind closed doors. It's a lot to unpack from this one, but one you don't want to miss. Take some time to listen to a black man vent today. ✌

This week on A Pod Named Kickback, we go from some seriously disturbing dating deception to one of our most personal conversations yet. We kick things off with the wild story of a man who allegedly pretended to be a San Francisco 49er to con women—and ask the obvious question: HOW THE HELL DOES SOMEBODY GET AWAY WITH THAT?!Then we get real for Suicide Awareness Month. Nile Nu'Man opens up about his own suicide attempt and the role 2Pac's music played in talking him through one of the darkest moments of his life. Jacq shares her own suicide-attempt story, and the crew talks honestly about recognizing the signs, finding someone to talk to, and the steps toward healing. It's vulnerable, uncomfortable, powerful—and a reminder that sometimes simply having somebody there can make the difference.Then we get back to the madness: Keefe D is found guilty in the 2Pac murder case, Gary, Indiana finds itself dealing with another extended power outage, Tyler Perry gets the Nipsey Hussle Award, Plus, our Eargasm/Netflix & Chill segment takes on Varnell Hill, Silo, Stephen A. Smith vs. Jemele Hill & Cari Champion, and the music worlds of The Game, Prince, Fat Joe and Erykah Badu. Real talk, wild stories, pop culture and absolutely no brakes. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Social Media as a Lifeline: Insights from Shawn Teasley On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Shawn Teasley. Little bit about Shawn's story from her:  I work at the intersection of marketing and mental health awareness, and one area I'm especially passionate about is the fine line between social media and its impact on our well-being. Boundaries around how we use these platforms are critical, but social media is also one of the most powerful ways to get mental health resources into people's hands. With September being Suicide Awareness Month, I'm especially mindful of how awareness days like Suicide Prevention Day can spark education, support, and meaningful conversations. I believe we can use these platforms not just for connection, but as lifelines to normalize mental health discussions and ensure more people know they're not alone. Short bio: Shawn Teasley is a marketing and social media strategist passionate about digital marketing, storytelling, and social media. As the owner of Social Tonic, she consults, trains, and mentors teams, helping businesses streamline marketing through done-for-you services or in-house training. Dedicated to supporting startups and entrepreneurs, Shawn offers strategic guidance and creative solutions. Inspired by her father's entrepreneurial spirit, she loves helping brands establish their presence and grow with confidence.

Journal prompt: Today's flicker of hope was…This week..."Hope in the Hollow" Now, October. After the volume of Suicide Awareness Month, we drop into the quieter work. This DAILY NUGGET Series is called Hope, Healing, Becoming. It's here to carry us—and embolden us—through a tough stretch of the year. We didn't choose this road, but we can choose how we respond to it.  This month, we practice the response—the inch we can actually take.Here's how the daily rhythm will go. Each episode is 5–7 minutes and touches three beats:Flicker (Hope): what's true right now—a small light you can actually hold.Rebuild (Healing): one concrete practice that steadies your body, heart, or world.Step (Becoming): a gentle move toward who you're becoming, without abandoning who you've been.You'll also get a short journal prompt and a three‑option “choose your energy” menu so you can pick the action that fits today. No gold stars. No toxic positivity. Just honest company and workable steps. Flicker (Hope) — The hollow isn't empty  After the casseroles and check-ins fade, the hollow remains—the space grief carved. Not nothingness. Space. Quiet enough to hear your own breath. Hope belongs here because you're still here. It's not a floodlight; it's a cupped match. Let one warm thing count today. That's enough.Rebuild (Healing) — 90 seconds to lower activation You don't need to be “triggered” to deserve care. When the body spikes, go small:Name & notice (30s): “Right now I feel… [tight chest / foggy / restless].”4-count breath (45s): In 4 • hold 4 • out 6–8. Repeat 5–6 times.One brick (15s): Tiny action—sip water, crack a window, text “I'm here.” Bricks, not blueprints.Step (Becoming) — A micro-act that includes you Becoming isn't betrayal. Carry them—and you. Pick one identity word (listener, maker, advocate, steady, seeker). Do a ≤10-minute act that fits: lay out your journal, message a meetup lead, chop one ingredient, confirm a therapy slot, stand in a patch of sun. Put it on the calendar. Small on purpose; momentum over spectacle.Choose‑your‑energy menu:If you're in the hollow (low capacity): Put both feet on the floor and breathe out longer than you breathe in, five times. That's the whole assignment.If you're in healing mode (medium capacity): Send this text to one safe person: “Could you witness me for five minutes today—no fixing, just ears?”If you're ready to become (higher capacity): Do your ten‑minute identity micro‑act. When you're done, say their name and yours. Both belong.Take a breath. Notice what softened. Keep only what helps. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon.

September is Suicide Awareness Month, and today I am honored to welcome Melani and Lenny Lighter to the podcast. In February 2023, their family was forever changed when their beloved daughter and sister, Lauren, died by suicide. In her memory, and in honor of the millions of lives lost each year, they created LIGHTER, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and providing support for mental health.Currently, they are leading the "Light in the Dark" fundraiser, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Lauren Lighter Fund. This fund directly supports NAMI Chicago, a local mental health organization, as well as the Douglas Mobile Outreach Program, expanding access to resources and care.At its heart, LIGHTER is a candle project designed to bring light and comfort into people's homes while honoring those who have struggled in darkness. Since its launch in August 2023, LIGHTER has raised over $1 million for mental health foundations in both Montreal and Chicago, offering communities not only resources but also awareness, compassion, and hope.This episode serves as a reminder that we are all fighting battles that are unseen.

Trigger Warning: This episode has a general discussion about suicide.September is World Suicide Awareness Month. This is such an important topic to raise awareness for, because there is STILL a stigma around poor mental wellbeing or mental health.Suicide is one of those topics that many people are scared to talk about, whether you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings, or someone is telling you that they are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings. The world has thankfully moved on in being able to discuss things like depression or anxiety more openly. However, sadly, there are MANY mental health related topics that are still very much taboo.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why boys are often told to "man up" but to never challenge authority? This episode unpacks the deeply ingrained cultural and gender norms that shape our responses to bullying and mental health. We highlight the importance of fostering self-care and challenging outdated notions of masculinity, especially for men who are often caught in the tough yet submissive paradox. As we mark Suicide Awareness Month, the conversation emphasizes the urgent need to prioritize mental health, drawing particular attention to the context in South Africa.Join us as I share my personal journey from a home where emotions were seldom discussed to becoming a psychiatrist deeply attuned to the impact of family dynamics and personal growth. Through my story, you'll learn how emotional self-awareness transformed my professional and personal life, making me a better therapist and a more empathetic human being. This episode underscores the value of therapy—not just as a place to unpack your burdens but as a unique, unbiased support system crucial for personal development.We dedicate significant time to dismantling harmful stereotypes about masculinity and femininity. True masculinity involves bravery, emotional intelligence, and the strength to be vulnerable. We also discuss the critical need for investment in mental health resources, reflecting on the alarming rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, especially among youth. This isn't just about changing perceptions but about advocating for systemic changes that can improve lives. Engage with us as we explore the need for cultural sensitivity in therapy, the importance of mental health education, and the power of kindness and empathy in shaping a better world for future generations.Support the show

September is Suicide Awareness Month and Scott Watson talks with Rachael Zimmerman about her book Us, After which addresses families that survive a death by suicide.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Sara Glass about her new memoir, "Kissing Girls on Shabbat." Growing up in an extremely sheltered Orthodox Hassidic Jewish community, Sara decided to become a therapist and mental health professional partially because seeing how her sister Shani's mental health issues impacted her family. When Shani ultimately took her own life, Sara came out of the closet after years of struggling with her sexual identity and eventually wrote a memoir about her path towards self acceptance and an open life. We talk about the different ways that we interalize our own trauma, and how hard it can be to find ways to be honest with the people in our lives about what we are going through. We also talk about the stigma that comes with suicide and mental health issues in general, and how important it is to recognise that we never have to do it alone. As September is Suicide Awareness Month, This episode is a reminder that someone is always listening, and if you need help, reach out to a trusted friend or loved one, or you call 988 for the national suicide prevention line.

The world of filmmaking is full of challenges, from industry rejection to personal setbacks. Yet, for many independent filmmakers, these obstacles become opportunities for growth and perseverance. This episode explores how passion, persistence, and a refusal to give up can turn seemingly insurmountable odds into career-defining moments. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker or a seasoned professional, the story of how Nadine Crocker made her mark in the industry is sure to inspire. Nadine Crocker is a filmmaker, actor, and mental health advocate whose latest feature, Continue, is based on her own struggles with depression and suicide. The award-winning drama tells the story of a woman who, after a failed suicide attempt, is taken to a mental institution where she finds unexpected friendships, love, and a new purpose. Set for release by Lionsgate during Suicide Awareness Month, the film has already garnered critical acclaim for its raw portrayal of mental health struggles. Nadine not only wrote, directed, and produced Continue, but also stars in it, bringing an intensely personal narrative to life. After years of being typecast and facing rejection, she took control of her career, creating projects that speak to her truth, including Desperation Road, her second Lionsgate release. In today's episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins speaks with Nadine Crocker to discuss: Being dropped by her reps shortly after having her first baby—and how it led her to make Continue independently. Breaking free from being typecast and proving herself as a writer, director, and producer. Balancing waitressing and raising a newborn while working on her first feature film. Securing financing through personal savings and a small group of supportive investors. Deciding to stop waiting for permission and create her own opportunities. How Continue became a movement for mental health awareness through her nonprofit, Continue On. Memorable Quotes: “I did hear like all the time, I was too pretty to pay the best friend and I wasn't famous enough to be the lead.” [6:01] “I'm done asking for permission. I'm making this movie and I don't care what I have to do or how much work or how many years it takes.” [9:16] “I invested my life savings into this movie, like every time we had, and went back to waitressing so that I could keep the lights on.” [11:30] "Imagine being dropped in the middle of the ocean with nothing but a hard drive, and you gotta keep it over your head and tread motherfucking water until someone comes."

Acknowledging September as both Suicide Awareness Month and Recovery Month, Maggie discusses upcoming local harm reduction services, events, and interviews folks from the Meeting Place on this month's episode of Chemical World.

Suicide? Ugh - no, we don't want to talk (or write) about that... but it is Suicide Awareness Month, and many have or will lose loved ones in their lifetime.  According to the CDC, suicide is  in the top 9 leading causes of death for people between the ages of 10 to 64.  It is the second cause of death for those between 10-14 and 20-34. Ugh!!Having two children under the age of ten with suicide losses on both sides of our family (which raises statistical odds), we are very cautious about how and when and why we talk about this. They know how our relatives died, but they do not know details. We meet them where they are in their questions and understanding, and are very solution focused when it comes to mental hygiene and what works and what doesn't.Here is my list of things that help, which I share with my husband, George, on the show, (along with a few things I forgot to say):- Get Outside- Get Some Sun- Go For a Walk- Change Your Temperature (hot/cold therapy)- Animal Therapy- Cuddles and Kisses (6 seconds to release seratonin - no quickies!)- Eating healthy foods- Eating healthy amounts- Eating at appropriate times- Exercise!!- Prayer- Meditation- Journaling- Reading Books that Improve Your Outlook- Therapy- Taking Prescription Medication as Prescribed by a doctor- Vitamins- Naps- A good sleep at night (we are diurnal!)- Spending more time with Great Influences- Sharing with a friendA few things that we joke about, but really don't necessarily help include "not getting out of bed all day" (unless those are doctor's orders - and even then, the goal is to get out of bed again!!); not exercising; overeating junk food; self medicating with drugs or alcohol as you wish; doomscrolling; watching or spending time with negative or horrific TV shows or influencers, and just generally not taking care of yourself.The focus for mental health is "Good Orderly Direction." Try out any one of the things listed above - sometimes just sweepoing is good enough for today. If you are struggling, or know someone who is, remember you do not have to do this alone. Please reach out. The suicide hotline is 988, and you can find my contact below.Remember, "Joy shared is double joy and sorrow shared is half sorrow." Reach out and touch someone! You are NOT alone.PS - EDIT on the pastor story, I said "Florida," but it actually was North Carolina. The point of it is that terrible things can and will continue to happen in this world - we cannot control that, but we can control our response. We are praying for all those affected by this horrific event that is still unfolding, especially close friends and families. Our deepest condolences. Support the Show.Connect with me in the following ways:catcaldwellmyers@gmail.comwww.catcaldwellmyers.com@catcaldwellmyers@adventureparadoxThe Adventure Paradox Podcast Page (Fb)
