Published: April 9, 2021, noon

Dese\u2019Rae Stage, creator of Live Through This, joins Steph and Beth for an honest conversation about suicide. Dese\u2019Rae is a suicidologist and a suicide attempt survivor. She created Live Through This to reduce the stigma and shame around suicide by giving suicide attempt survivors a chance to tell their stories. Too often, suicidality is described using impersonal statistics and anonymous reports. Dese\u2019Rae uses her gifts for photography and storytelling\u2014skills she honed photographing and promoting bands\u2014to help us understand the stories behind the numbers. You might think Dese\u2019Rae\u2019s work as a suicidologist is about death, but actually it\u2019s about life. This conversation is filled with real talk, humor, and practical tips and terminology.
