EP 26: Baz and The January Blues - a podcast by Baz Ashmawy

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains a discussion of suicide and depression.

This episode, Baz chats to John Boland. John is a suicide survivor and is a very influential member of Suicide Awareness in Dublin 15. Times could get tough... but we will focus on the fractions of the good that we get.

If you need to talk to someone, here are a number of helplines you can contact for confidential non-judgemental support.

If you or someone you know is at risk of suicide or self-harm, you should make contact immediately with one of the following:

• Phone or go to your local doctor
• Go to the Accident & Emergency department of the nearest hospital
• Call 999
• Samaritans - Free 24 hour listening service for anyone in distress. FreePhone: 116 123

Most helplines will provide a listening service, give information and advice, provide emotional support and point you in the direction of other services. They are often free-phone services which are staffed by trained volunteers or employees.
