このコンテンツについて

The Survivors Podcast was born from a serendipitous connection between Gretchen and Lisa—two individuals with powerful lived experiences in mental health and suicide survival. Gretchen, co-host of the award-winning Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads, met Lisa on PodMatch while seeking podcast guests. A quick pre-call turned into a two-hour conversation and a shared mission: to change the narrative around suicide, mental illness, and grief. Together, they created The Survivors to bring honest, unfiltered conversations about mental health into the mainstream. The show offers a rare dual perspective—one of surviving the loss of loved ones to suicide and the other of surviving personal mental health struggles. By tackling topics often considered taboo, The Survivors provides a safe, empathetic space to explore the complexities of mental health, grief, and loss with authenticity and hope.

  • Recognizing the Warning Signs: How to Help Prevent Suicide and Support Mental Health
    2025/06/11
    This episode digs deep into the warning signs of suicidal ideation and mental health struggles, both the obvious and the hidden. Lisa and Gretchen share raw, personal stories and provide powerful, actionable advice on supporting someone who might be silently suffering. 🎥 Watch the Video Podcast on YouTube: A video version of this episode is available here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSurvivorsPodcastChannel 🎙️ This episode is proudly brought to you by Schoser Talent and Wellness Solutions Struggling with employee burnout, high turnover, or clunky onboarding processes? Feeling overwhelmed by change or unsure how to support your team’s mental health in the workplace? You’re not alone. Welcome to Schoser Talent and Wellness Solutions—your all-in-one partner for building healthier, more resilient organizations. Visit: https://schosersolutions.com/ 🧠 Episode Summary In one of the most emotionally powerful episodes yet, Lisa and Gretchen break down the signs we often miss when someone is silently screaming for help. They explore the "two buckets" of those struggling—those who hide it well and those who visibly unravel—and offer a toolkit of conversational strategies and crisis support steps. Through personal stories and field-tested advice, they show how asking the right question could save a life. 📘 Lessons Learned There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to suicide warning signs—some suffer in silence, others show clear distress. Asking open-ended, direct questions like “Are you thinking of harming yourself?” can be life-saving. Holding space without judgment creates safety. Validation and presence matter more than solutions. A single person showing up can reduce suicide risk by up to 40% in the LGBTQ+ community. Add the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to your phone favorites—you may save someone’s life. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Trigger Warning & Episode Intro 01:00 – The Two Buckets: Silent Suffering vs. Visible Struggle 02:45 – How to Spot Behavior Changes 05:00 – Lisa’s Personal Experience with Hidden Depression 08:00 – Why Questions Matter: Open-Ended vs. Yes/No 12:00 – The Power of the 988 Crisis Line 16:00 – Building a Safety Plan: What to Ask 21:00 – Dispelling Myths: Talking About Suicide Won’t “Cause” It 24:00 – How to Respond if Someone Says “Yes” 25:45 – Closing Reflections and Call to Action 📚 Resources for Mental Health & Support 🔹 The Survivors Podcast Website – https://thesurvivors.net/ 🔹 The HelpHUB™ – Mental health resources, tools, and support networks – https://www.thehelphub.co/ 🔹 Schoser Talent and Wellness Solutions – Mental wellness coaching & support – https://schosersolutions.com/ 🔹 Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads – A raw, award-winning mental health podcast – https://goesoninourheads.net/ 🧠 Mental Health Resources 🔹 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline – Free, confidential 24/7 support for people in distress: https://988lifeline.org 🔹 The Trevor Project – Crisis support and suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ 🔹 Crisis Text Line – Text HOME to 741741 for 24/7 crisis counseling: https://www.crisistextline.org/ 🔹 Samaritans USA – 24/7 emotional support for people who are struggling: https://samaritansusa.org/ 📲 Follow & Connect With Us 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_survivors_podcast 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-survivors-podcast 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSurvivorsPodcastChannel #TheSurvivorsPodcast #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters #SuicidePrevention #YouAreNotAlone #BreakTheSilence #GriefSupport #988Lifeline #SurvivorStories #HealingTogether #PodMatch #MentalHealth #SuicideAwareness #Podcast #Community #Hope #Grief #Stigma #MentalIllness #Support #LisaSugarman #GretchenSchoser #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #MentalHealthAwareness #YouMatter #HoldSpace #ValidateDontFix #ListenToUnderstand #TalkAboutIt #InvisibleIllness #CheckOnYourFriends #HelpIsHere 🎙️ See You Next Week!
