What do I do? Suicide prevention
In this podcast, Dr. Kathy Hibbert offers a personal lived experience of an incident where a student was at risk of suicide.
The podcast is part of the Taboo Breaks series. The idea behind the name Taboo Breaks is to provide another narrative, an alternative viewpoint, a chance to flip the script and change the way we are socialized/encouraged to think--or not think--about something. We want to be critical of the notion that some topics are taboo or we are otherwise silenced about, while giving real stories and alternative ways of thinking through what is happening. We are not trying to provide definitive answers, but give people permission to think about or try something different.
