SUICIDE SERIES 2: Suicide vs. Self-Harm
Self-harming and suicide have different functions.
SUICIDE SERIES 1: Suicidality & Suicidology
I realize, I founded Coriander Living Collective over 4 years ago and I have never wrote a Blog Post on suicide. It’s fairly typical for me to have clients on my caseload with suicidality or past suicide attempts. It is a clinical area where I have competency, extensive training, and experience in treating and managing suicidal behavior. Suicidality is complex, and death by suicide is tragic, having profound impact on survivors. I have personal history with suicide loss like so many others. If you are someone struggling with suicidal thoughts, in deep pain, or if you have been impacted by suicide loss, there is a space for you at Coriander Living Collective. Just reach out.
