The fourth episode in our podcast A World Where LivingWorks is “Putting Care in Healthcare”. This episode is all about healthcare, hospitals, and essential workers and finding the balance between education, understanding, and peer support when it comes to suicide prevention in healthcare.
Host Kim Borrowdale speaks with University of Calgary nursing professor Dr. Jacqueline Smith in Canada, and President of the Singapore Association of Social Workers Chey May Long (May).
They discuss better ways to support those working in health to build skills and understanding when it comes to suicide prevention for patients and their families and really put the care in healthcare. And they touch on how health workers themselves can find balance between helping others and looking after their own mental wellness.
