Belinda Connell has been a registered Social Worker for 25 years and has over 10 years’ experience in suicide prevention, delivering LivingWorks’ suicide intervention training in Australia and overseas.

Belinda also served as a sworn Police Officer with the NSW Police Service and is very proud of her first responder family background.  

In today’s episode we chat with Belinda about the stigma around having conversations about suicide. We also discuss the LivingWorks programs which can empower people to learn the skills which could help someone stay safe, and the improvements which can be made to first responders and frontline worker mental health support systems. 

Thank you Belinda.
