Changing the Narrative on Suicide: The Role of Spirituality On Prevention

This episode of Integrated Wisdom honours World Suicide Prevention Day by exploring the role spirituality can play in suicide prevention.

Drawing on research by Dr. Lisa Miller and others, I share why a strong spiritual connection is linked to lower suicide risk, greater resilience, and the ability to find meaning in suffering. I also explore how perspectives from near-death experience research and stories from clinical practice reveal something essential: when we understand ourselves as spiritual beings, challenges take on new meaning, and even the darkest struggles can be reframed as part of a larger process of growth.

You'll learn:

  • Why spirituality protects against hopelessness and suicide risk

  • What near-death experience research suggests about life and purpose

  • Practical ways to strengthen your spiritual core as a source of resilience

As this year’s theme reminds us, it’s time to change the narrative on suicide. May this episode offer hope, meaning, and a reminder that you are not alone.

👉 Next week: how spirituality could help us heal some of today’s greatest global challenges.
