The webinar covered various pertinent issues such as debunking common suicide myths, and why we must start conversations around suicide.
The conversation then turned to what we can do to help ourselves and our loved ones; calling or keeping in touch, sending food, cards, and pictures which can make a difference to someone feeling unloved and alone.
Dr Hasan reiterated that reaching out in these trying times, to make connections and let them know that someone cares and is thinking about them is the best way to negate the risk of them choosing to take that fatal final step of Suicide.
