Youth Suicide Awareness & Prevention
With suicide as the second leading cause of death in the U.S. for those between the ages of 10 and 34, the importance of this topic is unmistakable.

Global Health: A Fundamental Human Right
Despite feeling the impacts of a global pandemic, many people still view health as a personal issue. But what would happen if we began to look at health from a worldwide lens, one where health is not a luxury, but a fundamental human right?
In this episode, hear from Kim Goldsmith-N’Diaye, Director of Development at Doctors Without Borders and Amanda Ryan-Smith, Chief Development Officer for the Trevor Project. Both guests operate from the philosophy that all people – regardless of location or economic background – deserve quality healthcare. With a scarcity of healthcare access around the globe and a rise in mental health issues amongst younger people, both guests are a testament that a sort of ‘collective caring’ and awareness is the first step towards solving this massive and complicated issue.

Ugh
In 2016, suicide became the number two killer of young people. And it rages on. One in two kids have contemplated ending their life multiple times. We can stop this!
'We don't wake up in the cot hating ourselves'
Warning: This episode discusses self-harm, suicide and sexual assault.
Alex, who is transgender, experienced depression and suicidal thoughts from the age of 11. But socially transitioning in Year 8 - with the support of his parents and school - marked a turning point in his mental health. Jack’s parents were delighted when he came out as gay but a horrible incident triggered a dark depressive episode. And Emily struggled with cultural expectations as she figured out her sexuality.
Research shows that a disproportionate number of LBGTQI+ youth experience mental health issues. This is directly related to experiences of stigma, prejudice, discrimination and abuse on the basis of being queer.
Emily, Alex and Jack talk about their mental health and the importance of acceptance from family and community.
Support for LGBTQI+ youth, their families and carers is available. Call QLife on 1800 184 527 3pm to midnight every day.

'I’m so grateful that I lived'
Warning: This episode discusses suicide.
Anita grew up hiding her feelings. Outwardly she was confident and happy but inside she was anxious and would often cry alone. Daniel was plagued by thoughts that others were judging him about his stutter. At 16, he had to be taken out of school because of panic attacks and suicidal thoughts.
In this episode we explore suicidal ideation. It is not in itself a mental illness, but people who experience persistent suicidal thoughts are at a higher risk of ending their own lives.
Today, Daniel has learnt to manage his suicidal thoughts and Anita has survived two suicide attempts. Both have made it their mission to relay messages of help, hope and self-love. As Anita says: “There’s nobody in the world like you.”

Suicide and Mental Health
An unfiltered, yet thoughtful discussion of suicide from two mental heath professionals who just happen to be cousins. In this episode, we discuss the changes in suicide rates, the alarming rise in suicide among youth and young adults, including the most recent suicides of some celebrity young adults.
Suicide is one of those taboo topics that’s begging for a frank and open discussion, and this episode is just the beginning of our discussions. Research shows that prioritizing and having open, honest conversations about mental health on the individual and national levels, implementing practices that reduce suicide risk in clinical and community settings, reducing access to lethal means, and seeking help early and when indicated, can reduce suicide deaths.
If you or someone you know is thinking about harming themselves or having suicidal thoughts please reach out for help! Do not take this lightly. There is a National Suicide Prevention Lifeline that is available 24 hours, and you can reach someone at 800-273-8255. If you don't feel comfortable reaching out to the lifeline then reach out to someone in your life for support. It is ok to ask for help, we ALL need help and support in our lives.
If you have any questions, concerns, or you're looking for further information please feel free to email us at: relative.insights1@gmail.com

'Nobody could see how sad I was'
Warning: This episode discusses depression, suicide and drug abuse
Nathan went into year 12 thinking it was going to be one of the best years of his life. But the pandemic stole all the normal rites of passage and he was left struggling with depression. Depression is a serious mental illness. It can feel like you're in a black hole and like there's no hope or joy. For Kaara, it was a case of masking her depression with recreational drugs and reckless behaviour. Meanwhile Ava found the usual advice for dealing with depression frustrating and unhelpful.
This episode explores how the three of them found their way through. And their most important message? You are not alone.

Jessie Funk: Leaving Mormonsism felt like death by a 1,000 paper cuts.
Are you a victim to the culture of Mormonism? Have you experienced being shamed for who you were or what you were choosing because your loved ones chose the Mormon culture over you? Well you are not alone! My guest today is the amazing Jessie Funk. You may have heard about her, @dearauntjessie, from her singing and sharing her talent with EFY. Maybe you have seen her speak, or seen her work with the youth, her books that she's published or more recently her events and retreats that she is facilitating. Jessie is a power house and I was thrilled to have her on the show today!
Jessie shares that for years she clung onto the phrase, "a testimony is found by the bearing of it". She felt that if she did all the little things, held onto faith, tried to do her very best to be as sincere as possible, as loving as possible, you name it that it would help her with her testimony in the Mormon church. But, it never worked.
She shares that her transition out of Mormonism could be described as 'death by 1,000 paper cuts'.
You can be happy and free. You can and will be blessed, even when you leave religion.
See the magnificence of who you are.

After Someone You Love Takes Their Own Life
Content warning: In this episode, we discuss death by suicide and suicidal ideation. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts about suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-8255 or text HOME to 741-741 to connect with a Crisis Text Line Counselor. You can also find a variety of resources about discussing suicide loss and preventing suicide on our website at valerieshouse.org under the Grief Resources tab. We’re glad you’re with us to discuss this important and difficult topic.
Suicide. It almost feels like a bad word, and it’s definitely not something most people feel okay talking about. But for those who have lost someone they love to suicide, and for those who may be struggling with suicidal thoughts, it’s something we need to talk about. Suicide rates have been rising steadily for the past several years, and the rise in youth suicide rates has increased exponentially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we know death by suicide isn’t easy to talk about, it’s so important to. These candid conversations can help others who have lost a loved one know they’re not alone and increase awareness about this ongoing mental health crisis.
Joining us on this episode are three members of the Valerie’s House community who have lost someone dear to them by suicide. They talk about what it feels like to live on after this kind of tragic loss, the stigma surrounding suicide, and to share what helped them through it.
