Changing the Narrative on Suicide: Shifting from a Culture of Silence and Stigma

Do you ever feel as though you are living within a template that leaves you feeling confined? In our recent session, we were joined by Leone Chege (@lnchege), a Psychotherapist at Sankofa Wellness Africa in Kenya, who guided us through a thoughtful discussion on the importance of leading with vulnerability as we examined the critical issue of reshaping the narrative around suicide.

Life’s journey can be profoundly challenging, underscoring the need for community—spaces where we can lighten one another’s burdens, share moments of joy and sorrow, and offer meaningful support so that no one feels compelled to give up.

If you were unable to attend the live session, we encourage you to watch the replay. The conversation offers valuable insights drawn from a sincere and impactful exchange. Please consider sharing it with others who may benefit from this important dialogue.
