Episode #89
Epi. 89 When "I'm Good" Isn't The Truth
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and we're having a conversation that can be difficult, but necessary.In this episode of Issa Kickback, James and Marcellus have an open conversation about suicide awareness, personal experiences, mental health, recognizing when someone may be struggling, and how we can do a better job of looking out for the people around us.We discuss what it actually means to “check on your people,” why someone can appear okay while struggling privately, creating friendships where people feel comfortable admitting they aren't okay, and how we can listen and support someone without immediately trying to fix everything they're experiencing.This isn't a conversation from professionals. It's two friends sharing experiences, perspectives and lessons in hopes of encouraging more of us to have the conversations we sometimes avoid.If you or someone you know is struggling or experiencing a suicidal crisis in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Support is available 24/7.Subscribe to Issa Kickback for conversations about life, culture, business, music, community, personal growth and the people behind the stories.#issakickbackpod #podcast #suicideprevention #suicideawareness*Available on all Streaming Platforms || Be A Guest Linkhttps://linktr.ee/issakickbackpodFollow Us!
