HEALING 101: The de-escalation of suicidal thoughts and behaviours with Dr Fiona Pienaar

On today’s HEALING 101, I am joined by Dr Fiona Pienaar, the Senior Clinical Advisor for Mental Health Innovations, aka Shout (our podcast partner) and previously worked at Place2Be as the Director of Clinical services. Today’s episode focuses on suicide and suicide de-escalation in particular. It’s a very sensitive topic to navigate but I feel it’s important that we are all aware of what the warning signs are and what we can do to help someone who is suffering with depression and suicidal ideation.Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpodA big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to the Hurt to Healing podcast with me, Pandora Morris. I’ve been fighting an uphill battle with my mental health for years and it’s only now that I’ve started to see some glimmers of light. It’s almost unbelievable to think I am starting this podcast considering my incessant compulsions would normally try to talk me out of it. But here I am, continuing to fight my invisible bullies one day at a time. 


As part of my own recovery, I’ve made it my mission to support as many of you as possible on your own healing journey. I’ll be speaking to wonderful people from all walks of life who will open up about their own invisible struggles in the hope that it will provide a bit of solace and comfort for some of you. I’ll also be speaking to leading experts and doctors about different disorders and therapies that might help each of you expand your knowledge on the world of mental health.
