Lets Get Comfortable Talking About Suicide

In this sixth episode of the Living Well with Mental Illness podcast, Lauren and Rob seek to normalize talking openly about suicide.

This episode seeks to bring it out into the open where much needed conversations can be had in an effort to deal with these problems more effectively. **If you are in an emergency situation call 911 (US/CAN) or 999 (UK) or take yourself to your nearest emergency room.
