🚨🚨Trigger Warning🚨🚨

Today we are talking about a sensitive topic. It’s suicide prevention week; and as a mental health professional, I think it’s important to highlight the topic. If you or someone you know struggle with suicidal thoughts and need help, call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Have you ever had thoughts of suicide and condemned yourself because you felt like you shouldn’t have such thoughts because you are a Christian? Are you questioning whether or not you should be concerned because of subtle behavior changes by someone close to you? Are you wondering how you can support a loved one who may have mentioned having suicidal thoughts? If so, this episode is for you!

I have a special guest, Cheska, who will share those warning signs, prevention methods, and ways to get help.

Cheska is a Mental Health Advocate and host of the podcast Do I Have ADHD?

She’s on a mission to guide and encourage squirrelly brains from feeling unequipped and overwhelmed to capable through self-compassion, perspective shifts, and God’s grace. Cheska has spent almost a decade working in special education and navigating her own ADHD. She’s a mom, wife, speaker, and coach who loves sharing unique approaches to daily struggles for people of all ages with neurodivergent brains.

If you’re finding it hard to talk about suicide, whether you’re the one struggling with the thoughts or you know someone struggling with the thoughts, this episode will definitely give you some tips and encouragment.

So turn me up in those earbuds and get ready to take some notes! We’re about to dig into it!
