Episode #176. How we can help someone today that makes a difference. Ali Halkic, Father of Allem, Founder of Bully Zero, Hero
Today we dive deep into important conversations about mental health, well-being, and community support. We're discussing an incredibly important topic that, unfortunately, affects many lives—today, we are talking about suicide and the reasons leading a young boy to the moment and the steps we, as parents and a society, can take to prevent it from happening.
"Suicide is a challenging and sensitive subject, but it's one we must talk about openly and compassionately. Understanding the signs, offering support, and knowing where to turn for help can save lives. Today's goal is to provide information, share stories, and offer hope."
I want to take a moment to acknowledge that this topic might be triggering for some listeners. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, it's crucial to reach out for help. In Australia, you can call Lifeline at 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue at 1300 22 4636. You're not alone; some people care and want to help."
In today's episode, we'll speak with Ali Halkic, hear about how his family has been affected by the loss of Allem, his son, and discuss ways we can all contribute to creating a supportive and understanding community. Remember, it's okay to ask for help, and it's okay to talk about how you're feeling. So, let's start by understanding the signs and symptoms that someone might be struggling with and what steps we can take to provide support.
We're also excited to announce that we are running an important forum on August 8th in Brisbane to bring us together. We need to take collective action to master children's mental health and prevent further harm. Your participation can make a real difference.
This is an urgent need to solve the issue of smart devices and social media’s impact on our children’s mental health- as it will reverberate in our country for generations.
These are the ways people can help:
This is the forum on August 8th.
- There is an urgent need for a collective effort to reshape how society, tech companies, parents, educators, clinicians, and policymakers prioritise and protect our youngest users in the digital age.
