Suicide: Beyond The Statistic With Kristy Collins

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and writing partner Kirsty Collins.

Kirsty is a wellbeing ambassador and has bravely shared about her experience of losing her partner to suicide as well as having her father be diagnosed with psychosis and dementia.

Her goal is to drive to change perceptions around mental health, grief, and suicide.

Today, we'll be talking about the impact of suicide and why wellness extends both inside and outside the office.

Highlights:

(11:39) Grief is messy!

(41:26) Unanswered questions

(45:28) Stability and support

(50:13) Take a step back

(54:40) You will get through
