In this episode, Wendy shares information and her own personal experience with suicide.
Wendy's novel on psychiatric hospitalizations is out on Amazon! It's called "Involuntary Hold." Check it out~ There is a plot twist you won't see coming!
International Helpline Info
For those living outside the United States, I finally found some helpful information. The International Association for Suicide Prevention has a directory of crisis centers and helplines for over 50 countries!
Just got to the internet and type in:
findahelpline.com/i/iasp
And it will bring you to a drop-down menu where you can input your country and region, and it will give you the information for your location. Granted, it doesn’t cover everywhere, but it’s a start!
** Remember if you, or a loved one, is in emotional crisis... Help is just a phone call away. Simply dial 9-8-8 for the Suicide and Crisis Hotline, or text "HOME" to 741741 to chat with someone via text 24/7 across the United States. **
