Description

In this episode:

  • When someone is suicidal, those who are close to the distressed person do not know what to do and often feel paralysed – because they are not sure what is the right thing to say
  • While you as the health professional are nervous when someone is suicidal, family and friends are terrified! This puts quite a burden back onto you.
  • The Australian Suicide Prevention Foundation has developed a world-first innovation – a website that gives family and friends the effective words and phrases they can say when dealing with someone who is suicidal

 

Host: Dr David Lim, GP and Medical Educator

Total time: 28 mins

Guest: Clinical A/Prof David Horgan, Psychiatrist
