The importance of Autonomy, and how people respond to suicidal ideation

In Honour of World Suicide Prevention Day, I made a post about the importance of educating ourselves on how to respond when someone is feeling suicidal, and how we can rethink the modalities we have in the current system.

The main aim of this post is to raise awareness on how important Autonomy is, and how much people are unequipped to know how to respond to someone expressing suicidal ideation, how it is met with panic, avoidance or calling authorities to section you.

This post is about raising awareness on how we should find alternative ways to communicate and respond to suicidal ideation, to allow a safe space for those who are suffering from it, where they can reach out without fear of being sectioned, ignored or invalidated

Any shares would be greatly appreciated so we can spread the message 💙
