Don't Let Suicide Kill You: Stories of Survival and Recovery Story Circle Project
-
- Society & Culture
Don’t let suicide kill you: Nine stories of survival and recovery, is a book of stories by survivors of suicidal crises. Six of these stories are here, as podcasts. They are stories of hope and recovery - none of them contain graphic descriptions of suicide attempts or traumatic events. Rather, they explore - each in remarkably different ways - the impact of these events on the author, and how they got through the toughest of times.
So listen now, to these tales of wisdom, courage, compassion, kindness, insight and humanity.
