190_Getting Creative to Support a Struggling Friend

We'd love to hear your feedback!

The "silly selfie" accompanying this episode is actually an example of one friend helping another through a really dark time. The spectrum of ways to support someone struggling with their mental health is wide, varying from acknowledging a stranger you pass (who knows when they last felt "seen,") to climbing into the darkest darkness with a friend who is suicidal. And sometimes, it's saying "get out of bed, go get yourself your favorite coffee drink and send me a silly selfie. I'll send one back."It was a social media post about that challenge that prompted this interview and episode.Article referenced in episode: Suicide Prevention Doesn't Have to Be a Huge, Scary Thing: https://bit.ly/3ixsiky
