Talk About It Tuesday

Certified Personal Medicine Coach

Talk About It Tuesday is a support group for those bereaved by suicide or struggling with mental health struggles associated with the loss. In May 2021 we lost our son to suicide after 10 years of riding the roller coaster of loving someone with a mental health challenge. He has left behind devastated parents, two young sons, three loving sisters, extended family, and friends. As his mother, I'm never going to get over this loss but I have to find ways to survive. Advocacy for suicide prevention, mental health well-being, and grief support is the Personal Medicine that now gets me out of bed each day. My mission is to help others find their own survival strategies that help them move forward without their lost loved ones and find purpose. I have unknowingly used many different Personal Medicines to help myself over the years and never appreciated the fact that we all have healers within. This course has given me a new perspective and appreciation of my lived experience and how it could possibly support others.
