Session 171: Managing Suicidal Thoughts

<p>The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a Licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible version of ourselves.</p> <p class="p1">We started this conversation last week when I shared a few questions for you to check in with yourself about your mental health. Given that September is National Suicide Prevention Month, I thought it was important to continue the conversation by discussing how you can cope and manage if you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts.</p> <p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p> <p>Use the Crisis Text Line by texting TRIBE to 741-741.</p> <p>Visit our <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls&source=gmail&ust=1593664880963000&usg=AFQjCNHBW1o23ExOe-pgaTqnghXjBTf6pg">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast!</p> <p>Check out <a href= "https://therapyforblackgirls.libsyn.com/session-26-five-myths-about-suicide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Session 26</a> of the podcast to hear more about the most common myths about suicide. </p> <p>Check out <a href= "https://therapyforblackgirls.libsyn.com/session-152-building-your-coping-kit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Session 152</a> of the podcast to learn more about building your coping kit. </p> <p>If you're looking for a therapist in your area, check out the directory at <a href= "https://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory&source=gmail&ust=1593664880963000&usg=AFQjCNFjCHdTWpJiHTl4ghPAL7tSsuB-uA">https://www.<wbr />therapyforblackgirls.com/<wbr />directory</a>.</p> <p>Take the info from the podcast to the next level by joining us in The Yellow Couch Collective, <a href= "https://therapyforblack
