The decision to die by suicide is perhaps one of the most tragic possible outcomes of a person’s life. And while society at large has expanded its understanding and open mindedness regarding mental illness, stigma is certainly still quite high. Many still refer dismissively to suicide attempts as mere cries for help, and when someone does kill themselves, they are then often labelled as selfish and weak. Josh Rivedal has spoken about mental health and suicide across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia. He joins the podcast to share his personal story and family history of mental illness and the insights he has learned.
