Before You Kill Yourself: a suicide prevention podcast.

Today we discuss how surviving an earthquake can teach how to manage emotions of despair, hurt, shame and excitement; potency of rereading a book three times; why labeling someone as resilient, gritty or mentally strong can be harmful for our mental health.

We discuss the impact of Daylight Savings Time on mental health.
