Wayne Holdsworth of SmackTalk Turning Personal Grief into a Movement for Suicide Awareness
In today’s episode we are joined by Wayne Holdsworth to share with you his personal story of tragedy and now, activism. This episode discusses suicide so please only continue listening today if it feels right for you. We discuss suicide and the need for increased awareness and action regarding mental health challenges and suicide prevention. We cover the urgent need to protect children and teens from cybercrime and share with you the proposed legislation in Australia. We hope this inspires you to join our collective action to reduce our alarming suicide rates and implore media outlets to prioritise mental health stories and to continue to reduce the existing stigma and shame surrounding suicide.
