Grief is a Portal

a conversation with mental health advocate and suicide hotline crisis counselor, April Wilkner

Today I'm speaking with April Wilkner, actor, broadcaster, and mental health advocate.

April is a suicide hotline crisis counselor for #988 and shares her experience working for the hotline as well as her personal connection to suicide and mental health.

In this powerful interview, April openly shares her story with poise and provides very helpful tips on how we can show up for our loved ones going through grief.

Some of the highlights of today's chat include:

  • Finding hope through grief

  • Her experience as a suicide hotline crisis counselor

  • The fear she had of going public with her own mental health struggles

  • How grief and suicide don't discriminate due to circumstances

  • The 3 things people do wrong when someone is grieving

  • Breaking the stigma of using the word "suicide" and the statistics around mental health and suicide

  • The ONE THING that is the antidote for suicide

This conversation is so important! You can learn more about her work below:
