115. SUICIDE PREVENTION: What to Expect When Calling 988 + Reasons to Have Hope feat. Adia Fadaei

TRIGGER WARNING for suicidal ideation and suicide prevention-related languageIn honor of September being Suicide Prevention Month, I am sitting down with Adia Fadaei—a 19-year-old mental health and suicide prevention advocate. Her passion for eradicating the stigma surrounding mental health and suicidality began 14, working at Teen Line as a hotline listener, outreach presenter, and intern. She is a crisis counselor for 988 Crisis & Suicide Lifeline at Didi Hirsch Suicide Prevention Center. We discuss Adia's background in the suicide prevention industry, reasons to call 988, exactly what happens when you call 988, a role-play of what a 988 call is like, suicidal ambivalence, tools to use during an emotional crisis, warning signs of suicidality, common emotional responses to experiencing suicidal ideation, suicidal phrases being used as slang, what Adia hopes to see in the suicide prevention industry, debunking 988 misconceptions, and so much more! If you or a loved one is struggling with suicidal ideation, I highly recommend calling 988 or checking out the resources below. You are not alone!
