Let’s Talk About Suicide is a JOY 94.9 podcast that provides support, conversation, and comfort to people affected by suicide.

Many people are affected by the suicide of a loved one (a partner, sibling, parent, or friend). It can be a devastating experience that is difficult to make sense of and difficult to cope with. This podcast supports people by helping them understand suicide and helps with issues such as grief, guilt, preparing for anniversaries, and remembering loved ones.
