Suicide Prevention for Artists

  • Summary

  • In this episode of "The Success Palette", Jennifer Wright-Berryman, a dedicated mental health advocate, educator, and self-published author, discusses the pressing issue of suicide prevention in the creative community. We talk about the high suicide rates among artists and the importance of establishing genuine, diverse personal connections. This conversation highlights the value of constructing a healthy support systeme and the necessity of a "mental health toolbox".

    Jennifer gives insights about the role social media plays in influencing our mental health, the risks of solely relying on social media for social connectivity and the paradoxical role it plays in shaping our sense of self-worth. We discuss the alarming impact of online validation on our emotional wellbeing and offer instructional counsel on managing expectations. From distinguishing emotional health from mental health, we provide practical solutions for preserving our mental wellbeing. We also delve into an enlightening exercise of post-validation based on social media interactions and the resilience required to endure the often harsh realities of the virtual world.

    Lastly, the conversation turns to the concept of personal worth - explaining that it's not just about likes or follows, but how we engage with the world around us. We touch on enduring criticism, self-publishing, and managing mental health as a creative individual.
