Welcome to Make Mental Matter, a podcast aimed at destigmatizing suicide and mental health in the healthcare field. Although this is aimed at healthcare providers, it is a great way to get educated about how our healthcare providers are making a change in their practice. Join Tori Siler, and co-host, Kaylee Siler in short discussions on mental health stigmas, our personal connections, and interviews with other providers on a very important topic.
*LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED* September is Suicide Prevention Month! It is very important to stay educated on warning signs, ways to help someone in a crisis, and stay up to date on alarming statistics about suicide. There have been far too many lives lost to suicide. Call or text 988 if you or someone you know is in a crisis.
