The Skies We’re Under

Trips and Toilets | Trauma Tap Out

We realise that trauma can be a tough theme to grapple with, and listen to. To help bring some of the humour and light that only Rachel and co. can bring, we’re calling this a ‘Trauma Tap out’
Rachel reflects on what should have been a relaxing trip away, but the stress hits before she even takes off.
When she did eventually make it to Casa Peguche, it was lovely though… you can find out more about them here.

When Silence Isn’t Safe: Raising Awareness of Parent Carer Suicide | S4 | 21

CONTENT WARNING - This episode contains references to both suicide and homicide. If you think you will find any of these subjects difficult to listen to, please do listen to another of our episodes. We will also have a “Trauma Tap-Out’ on Friday.
Join Rachel and Lucy as they battle through various infections, to discuss the very important topic of parent carer suicide. They are joined by Dr Siobhan O’Dwyer, an Associate Professor of Social Care, with expertise in unpaid carers, their experiences and the increased likelihood of them having suicidal thoughts.
We know this one is tricky, but we also know that when people share that they feel suicidal, they think they are the only ones to feel this way. We know they aren’t alone, and we want to raise awareness of this amongst our listeners.
The following resources are available for support:
Samaritans
TEL - 116 123
Affinity Hub
NHS Urgent Mental Health
MIND Urgent Help
You can find more about Siobhan here.
