[EP. 2] Cyberbullying and Suicide Epidemic in Korea

<p>Kim In-Hyeok and<strong> </strong>Cho Jang-mi recently lost their lives due to suicide that ultimately resulted from a mixture of cyberbullying and mental illness. Their deaths really shook me as well as all their fans, loved ones, and the Korean community. I decided to make this episode to bring awareness to In-Hyeok and Jang-Mi's situations while also sharing some data and statistics on suicide and mental health in South Korea. The data is alarming, but I hope you are enlightened and become more educated from this episode.</p> <p>Resources:</p> <p>24/7 Crisis Hotline: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Network<br> <a href="https://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org</a><br> <a href="tel:+1-800-273-8255">1-800-273-TALK (8255)</a>&nbsp;(Veterans, press 1)</p> <p><a href="http://www.crisistextline.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Crisis Text Line</a><br> Text TALK to 741-741 to text with a trained crisis counselor from the Crisis Text Line for free, 24/7</p> <p><a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SAMHSA Treatment Referral Hotline (Substance Abuse)</a><br> <a href="tel:+1-800-662-4357">1-800-662-HELP (4357)</a></p> <p><a href="https://hotline.rainn.org/online/terms-of-service.jsp" rel="noopener" target="_blank">RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline</a><br> <a href="tel:+1-800-656-4673" rel="noopener" target="_blank">1-800-656-HOPE (4673)</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.loveisrespect.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline</a><br> <a href="tel:+1-866-331-9474">1-866-331-9474</a></p> <p><a href="https://thetrevorproject.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Trevor Project</a><br> <a href="tel:1-866-488-7386">1-866-488-7386</a></p> <p>National Suicide Prevention Lifeline&nbsp;</p> <p>800-273-8255</p> <p>Counsel24</p> <p>Counsel24 provides 24-hour counselling and mental health support &nbsp;for people in South Korea who are depressed or at risk of suicide.</p> <p>Tel: 1566-2525</p> <p><strong>Lifeline Korea</strong></p> <p>Lifeline Korea offers 24-hour telephone service to people in South Korea who are depressed or at risk of suicide.</p> <p>Tel: 1588-9191</p> <p><strong>Mental Health Center Crisis Counseling</strong></p> <p>Mental Health Center Crisis Counseling offers 24-hour service to people in South Korea who are depressed or at risk of suicide.</p> <p>Tel: 1577-0199</p> <p>Please make sure to follow, subscribe, like, leave a comment, rate, and review my podcast!
